49. GRANT FROM ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION TO IDENTIFY THE MISSING Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, (ACJC Grant Number IDM-10-001), in the not-to-exceed amount of $138,000 for the purpose reducing turnaround time in identifying decedents. The grant award begins on October 1, 2009 and ends on March 31, 2011. 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 Office of Medical Examiner or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Office of Medical Examiner's composite indirect cost rate at 27%, or $37,260. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $37,260. Funding for this agreement is provided by a Grant from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission and will not increase the County General fund budget. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. 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. (C-29-10-003-G-00)
