8. APPLY AND ACCEPT CONSTABLE ETHICS AND TRAINING BOARD EQUIPMENT GRANT FOR PURCHASE OF TASER UNITS Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from Constable Ethics, Standards and Training Board, (CNA09-63), in the not-to-exceed amount of $6,735.60 for the purchase of taser units. The grant award begins on July 22, 2009, and ends on June 30, 2010. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0 which may be incurred by the Constables or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Constables' composite indirect cost rate at 10.9%, or $734.00. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $0. Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106(B), approve revenue and expenditure appropriation adjustments to the Constables (250) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001) budget associated with the grant in the amount of $6,735 for FY 2009-10. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The applicants for this grant will be purchasing eight X26E Advanced Tasers and accessories with extended digital power magazines. These tasers will allow for the replacement of older units which were donated to the Maricopa County Constables Department by the Youngtown Police Department. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has discontinued the purchase of the older units and no longer stocks cartridges and accessories. (C-25-10-001-G-00)
