31. 2012 PAUL COVERDELL FORENSIC SCIENCE IMPROVEMENT GRANT Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, (CV-13-002), in the not-to-exceed amount of $7,682 for the purpose of toxicology laboratory travel and training. The grant award begins on October 1, 2012 and ends on September 30, 2013. 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 24.7%, or $1,897. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $1,897. Upon receipt of funds and pursuant to ARS §42-17106(B), approve revenue and expenditure appropriation adjustments to the Office of Medical Examiner (290) Medical Examiner Grant (224) Operating (0000) associated with the grant in the amount of $7,682 for FY 2013. 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. (C-29-13-001-G-00)
