68. AGREEMENT WITH ARIZONA COMMUNITY ACTION ASSOCIATION Approve a revenue agreement between Arizona Community Action Association (ACAA) and Maricopa County, through its Human Services Department (MCHSD), in the not-to-exceed amount of $264,220. The purpose of this agreement is for the provision of home weatherization services to eligible residents of Maricopa County. This agreement is effective May 1, 2014 and will expire on March 30, 2015. The allowable indirect cost recovery amount is $ 26,422. The proposed indirect rate for fiscal year 2015 for the Human Services Department with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is 18.4% of personnel costs. However, the agreement allows for a maximum of 20% for program delivery expenditures, of which Maricopa County retains 12% and 8% is provided to the Weatherization subcontractor (FSL Home Improvements Serial 09078-RFP). This agreement does not contain County General funds. Grant 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 funding does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant A.R.S. §42-17105. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through future budget reconciliation. (C-22-14-068-3-00)
