46. INCREASE FUNDS IN HEAD START/EARLY HEAD START PROGRAM Approve receipt of supplemental discretionary grant from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families totaling $61,500. As stated by Section 640(b) of the Head Start Act and 45 C.F.R. §1301.20, this grant requires a non-federal match of 20 percent of the total cost of the program, which the program provides through in-kind donations of goods and services. The discretionary funds provided by this award shall be distributed to the sub-recipient delegate agency in the west valley of Maricopa County-Catholic Charities Community Services (C-22-14-075-3-00). The FY 2015 Human Services Department negotiated U.S. Department of Health and Human Services approved indirect cost rate is 18.4%. The grant increase is pass-through funding; therefore $0 indirect costs are recoverable. Expenditure term period is 7/1/2014 – 6/30/2015. 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 a future reconciliation. Funding for this agreement does not contain any County general funds.
