36. APPLY AND ACCEPT GRANT FUNDING FROM ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION (ACJC)-FY2011 PAUL COVERDELL FORENSIC SCIENCE IMPROVEMENT GRANT FOR TRAVEL, TRAINING AND EDUCATION Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, (ACJC), in the not-to-exceed amount of $21,724 for the purpose of forensic science training, education and travel. The grant award begins on October 1, 2010 and ends on September 30, 2011. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Office of Medical Examiner's composite indirect cost rate at 29.2%. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $6,343. The Department did not comply with County Policy A2505 Section D.1. in the submission of this grant application. This grant deviates from County policy A2505 as indirects are not fully recoverable, but the Department failed to obtain BOS approval prior to the submission of this grant application and requests retroactive approval to apply at this time. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. (C-29-11-003-G-00)
