50. ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS FOR THE MARICOPA COUNTY FY2011-12 HEAD START/EARLY HEAD START BASE FUNDING GRANT Approve an Administrative correction to the action taken on July 1, 2011 (C-22-11-078-G-00) to apply for and accept supplemental funding for the Maricopa County FY2011-12 Head Start/Early Head Start Base Funding Grant (C-22-11-050-P-00) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)/Administration for Children and Families (ACF/Office of Head Start (OHS), 09CH7096. This action reflects a decrease of $581,992 from the funding originally applied for ($2,327,972) and the actual amount awarded ($1,745,980) for FY2011-12. The sub-recipient (delegate agency) of this grant received $522,068 of the supplemental funds awarded. The decrease will reduce the total not-to-exceed amount for the Maricopa County FY2011-12 Head Start/Early Head Start Base Funding Grant with supplemental funding from $22,261,869 to $21,679,877. The Fiscal Year 2012 Human Services Department indirect cost rate is 16.1%. The total decrease in grant funds are $581,992, of which $174,020 would have passed through to sub recipients. These funds were not added to the overall grant budget as they were never awarded. On May 11, 2011, Maricopa County Head Start Zero-Five Program received notification that the program was eligible to apply for $2,327,972 (annual funding) in base supplemental funding for Head Start and Early Head Start services for FY2011-12. The funding was initially provided for only six months (one-half the total funding) pending approval of the FY12 federal budget. Three months of additional FY12 funds were awarded by the Office of Head Start without further application being required ($581,993). As indicated in the July 1, 2011 (C-22-11-078-G-00) board action, changes to the total award amounts are being submitted as a correction item to the Board of Supervisors. The supplemental funds require a twenty-five percent match (up to $581,994) from in-kind contributions. The revised award will reduce this in-kind requirement by $145,499. The grant and matching funds do not include any Maricopa County General Funds. (C-22-11-078-G-01)
