27. GRANT FUNDING FROM CONSTABLE ETHICS, STANDARDS AND TRAINING BOARD (CESTB) FOR EQUIPMENT PURCHASE- FIVE BALLISTIC VESTS CNA26-103 Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from CESTB, (CNA26-103 Equipment Grant), in the not-to-exceed amount of $7,325.18 for the purpose of purchasing replacement ballistic vests for five Constables. The grant award begins on October 3, 2025 and ends on June 30, 2026. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs 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 9.67%, or $708.34. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $708.34. Upon receipt of funds and pursuant to ARS §42-17106(B), approve revenue and expenditure appropriation adjustments to the Constables (D250) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring (NRNP) budget associated with the grant in the amount of $7,326 for FY 2026. 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 grant award is non-recurring and a cash or in-kind match is not applicable. Indirect cost is non-recoverable in the amount of $708.34. Future ongoing cash contributions are not required after the grant period. The grant award is not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the citizens in allowing an increase in safety for constables/deputy constables. The grant award is non-competitive. Non-recoverable indirect costs of $708.34 will be absorbed by the Constables operating budget. (C-25-26-005-X-00)
