50. ELECTIONS GRANT FUND APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENT In accordance with A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the increase of expenditure and revenue authority in the FY 2026 Elections Department (210) Elections Grants Fund (248) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (NRNP) budget in the amount of $22,500. Grant funds from Help America Vote Act (HAVA) grant (C-21-20-006-M-00, C-21-20-005-G-00, and C-21-20-007-G-00) were previously awarded and approved in FY 2020 in the amount of $2,996,553. Funding from HAVA assists the department in meeting its mandate to provide fair, safe, and secure elections by addressing improvements to voting systems and voter access. The one-time expenditure and revenue adjustment will allow Elections Department to spend the remaining interest revenue within the grant term in FY 2026. 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 adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. (C-21-26-031-X-00)
