23. EXCEPTION TO THE POLICY FOR ADMINISTERING GRANTS Authorize the following actions relating to Human Services Grant Funds 222 and Community Development Block Grant Housing Trust Fund 217 for FY 2015 funding: 1) Approve an exception to the Policy for Administering Grants (2505) Section D.1 for the Maricopa County Human Services Department that would allow applications to be submitted for grant funding which may or may not allow indirect cost recovery and which may or may not have match requirements. Approval of this item authorizes application only and does not commit either the Human Services Department or Maricopa County to accept funding. 2) Authorize the Department and or Chairman if needed, to sign all applications, resolutions, certifications, assurances etc. that are included in the grant application process. At times grant funds become available without notice on a first come first served basis, the time for applying for grants passes too quickly therefore this action will allow the department to submit grant applications. However, the Human Services Department will submit to the Board of Supervisors for approval to accept any specific awards and corresponding agreements. Requests to accept awards or enter into agreements that are subsequent to this agenda will be presented as unique agenda items with separate tracking numbers. The Human Services Department indirect cost rate for FY 2015 is 18.4% of allowable personnel costs. (C-22-15-002-6-00)
