The grant award begins on October 1, 2014 and ends on September 30, 2016. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant allows a 20.635% rate for indirect costs, or $61,904.76 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 20.635%, or $61,904.76. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $61,904.76; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $0. 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-29-14-007-G-00)
