29. AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, ENERGY OFFICE FUNDED BY THE SOUTHWEST GAS CORPORATION Approve Amendment No. 1 to the revenue agreement (C-22-10-090-3) with Arizona Department of Commerce, Energy Office (GO44-10-03), funded by the Southwest Gas Corporation, to provide Weatherization Assistance to eligible low-income households. The amendment increases the Weatherization funds by $18,899.91 for a total of $125,526.91 and adds a state-required Indemnification clause. All other terms and conditions of the original Agreement remain in effect. The Human Services Department current negotiated DHHS indirect rate for 2010-11 is 16.1%. The total grant amendment of $18,899.91 will incur sub-recipient costs of $18,899.91 which are not subject to indirect cost recovery. Arizona Department of Commerce, Energy Office, funded by the Southwest Gas Corporation revenues, are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. The approval of this amendment does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenue duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. These funds will not impact the County General Fund. The sub-recipient, Foundation for Senior Living (SERIAL 09078-RFP), provides weatherization assistance to eligible households. (C-22-10-090-3-01)
