38. MOU WITH ARIZONA COMMUNITY ACTION ASSOCIATION, D/B/A WILDFIRE FOR DIAPER DISTRIBUTION Approve financial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Arizona Community Action Association (“Wildfire”) and Maricopa County, administered by its Human Services Department. The purpose of this MOU is to establish a Diaper Distribution pilot program. Wildfire shall provide the Human Services Department with diapers and diapering supplies for distribution to eligible low-income residents. The term of this agreement is effective upon full execution of the MOU through September 29, 2025, and may be extended to additional terms. Wildfire shall provide the County with $34,375 for administration of the pilot program in Maricopa County. Cash match or in-kind is not required in the MOU term. The services provided under this MOU are not a mandated function but provide a benefit to the citizens by providing eligible low-income residents with diapers and diapering supplies. Receipt of the funds from Wildfire does not require future or ongoing contributions by the County at the end of the MOU term. This MOU is issued through a non-competitive process, as the Human Services Department provides services to residents that are low-income. The Human Services Department indirect rate for FY2025 is 24%. The total MOU amount is $34,375 of which $0 is for salaries and employee related expenses. The total estimated indirect costs are $0, with $0 being recoverable, costs will be absorbed by the Human Services Department budget. The grant award is reoccurring and has been awarded to the department for the past year. 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. Acceptance of this Agreement will not impact the County General Fund.
