63. GRANT BUDGET APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENTS Approve revenue and expenditure appropriation adjustments to the Human Services Department (220), Grant Fund (222), Operating Budget (0000) in the amount of $915,137 as identified on the Fiscal Year 2009 Grant Summary Worksheet on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board. The appropriation adjustment is necessary because the carry forward amounts of prior year grants and award amounts of new grants differ from the amount approved in the FY 2008-09 Budget Appropriation. This action is in accord with the action plan developed by the Office of Management and Budget and Human Services to ensure compliance with the Board approved Budgeting for Results Accountability Policy. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditures of these revenue are not prohibited by the budget law. The approval of this budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The indirect cost rate is 15.2%, as calculated by the Department of Finance. Most of the grants for FY 2008-09 allow for indirect cost recovery, as reflected in the funding agreements. The status of the indirect costs for each grant is noted on the Grant Summary Worksheet on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board. (C-22-09-152-G-00)
