64. FY 2022 EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE GRANTS 1. Approve acceptance of grant funds from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance, for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program through the City of Phoenix 2. Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors to execute IGA between City of Phoenix, Maricopa County, City of Avondale, Buckeye City, City of Chandler, Town of Gilbert, City of Glendale, City of Goodyear, City of Mesa, City of Peoria, City of Scottsdale, City of Tempe and City of Surprise. Because disparity exists between the City of Phoenix, Maricopa County, City of Avondale, Buckeye City, City of Chandler, Town of Gilbert, City of Glendale, City of Goodyear, City of Mesa, City of Peoria, City of Scottsdale, City of Tempe and City of Surprise, an IGA is required pursuant to the grant application. This IGA includes negotiated reallocation to City of Phoenix of $1,035,714 (plus $57,390 of indirect funds to manage the grant) and $516,487 in funds reallocated to Maricopa County ($38,766) City of Avondale ($21,021), Buckeye City, ($9,356) City of Chandler ($43,233), Town of Gilbert ($19,433), City of Glendale ($78,673), City of Goodyear ($14,245), City of Mesa ($143,150), City of Peoria ($31,420), City of Scottsdale ($32,437), City of Tempe ($72,022) and City of Surprise ($12,731). Grant awards are to be expended within four (4) year period of time, starting on October 1, 2021 and ending September 30, 2025. The City of Phoenix has been designated as the fiscal agent for this consortium and municipalities. 3. Authorize Chairman of the Board to sign all documents related to the acceptance of the grant funds. 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. The grant award is reoccurring and has been awarded to the department previously. The department has no in-kind match requirement or ongoing cash contributions during the grant award period. The grant allows up to 10% for administration which includes indirect costs. The grant award is not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the citizens by providing states and units of local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas including law enforcement, prosecution and court programs, prevention and education programs, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, crime victim and witness initiatives, and planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs. The grant award is competitively bid and other eligible agencies may or may not bid on this grant award. Any unallowable indirect costs will be absorbed by the departments. 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 19.62%, or $7,605.89. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $7,605.89. (C-29-23-005-X-00)
