18. JUVENILE PROBATION GRANTS FOR FY 2011 Accept the FY 2011 grants and associated revenue for the Juvenile Probation Department of the Judicial Branch. The indirect cost rate as of July 2010 is 32.80% as approved by the Department of Finance. Some of the grants for FY 2011 do not allow indirect cost recovery as reflected in the attached funding agreements. The status of indirect costs for each grant is noted on the attached summary sheets. For FY 2011 we anticipate accepting sixteen new awards for Grant Fund revenue of $4,488,900 and carrying over Grant Fund revenue balance of $904,596 on nine previously accepted awards. On the new awards, indirect costs on eligible expenditures are estimated to be $1,311,625 with $103,919 recoverable and $1,207,706 unrecoverable. In addition, approve an increase to the FY 2011 Juvenile Probation (270) Juvenile Probation Grants Fund (227) Operating (0000) revenue and expenditure appropriation in the amount of $97,019. This increase is necessary because actual grant funding to be received is more than anticipated and budgeted. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation and, therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-17105. Administrative Order #95-50, approved by Presiding Judge Robert D. Myers on June 29, 1995, adopted for the Judicial Branch a policy for the administration of grant funding. The policy is identical in form and substance to policy A2505 "Policy for Administering Grants" and all revisions adopted by the Board of Supervisors for all County departments. The policy states that the Presiding Judge will make a presentation to the Board of Supervisors on an annual basis of the Judicial Branch's grants. A summary of each grant has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the policy. (C-27-11-002-2-00)
