62. AZ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES GRANT FUNDING FOR TOXICOLOGY TESTING 1. Pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17106, approve acceptance of grant funds from Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS). Grant funds were awarded to AZDHS through Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Overdose Data to Action States. 2. Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors to execute IGA between AZDHS and Maricopa County. This IGA includes a sub-recipient grant award allocation of $100,000 to Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner (OME) for toxicology testing in opioid and stimulant overdose deaths. The grant award period is from 9/1/2023 to 8/31/2024. 3. Pursuant to ARS §42-17106(B), increase the FY 2025 Office of the Medical Examiner (D290) Medical Examiner Grant Fund (224) Operating (OPER) revenue and expenditure budget by $100,000. 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 new to OME and may be awarded for a total of five years; with different award amounts each year. The department has no in-kind match requirement or ongoing cash contributions during the grant award period. 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. 4. 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 20.16%, or $20,160.00. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $20,160.00. (C-29-24-016-X-00)
