7. APPLY AND ACCEPT GRANT FUNDING FOR HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ELECTION ASSISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABIITIES Authorize the Election's Department to submit application for grant funding for the State Subgrants for Health and Human Services (HHS), Election Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities (EAID) program administered by the Secretary of State, and authorize the Chairman to approve receipt of any and all such funds awarded. The funding will support the Department's Help America Vote Act of 2002. The total amount of funds requested is $58,322. The grants must be completely drawn down by September 30, 2014. The department's indirect cost rate is 37.3%. Since the grant funds are being used to purchase ADA compliant mailing supplies, Braille related materials, and provide for ADA training, indirect costs ($21,754.11) are unrecoverable, and no matching dollars pertain to the grant. Grant revenues are not "local Revenues" for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. This budget request does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. (C-21-11-009-G-00)
