MOU AND ACCEPTANCE OF FUNDING FOR THE VULTURE MOUNTAIN COOPERATIVE RECREATION MANAGEMENT AREA Approve an Memorandum of Understanding between United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (AZ-2009-07) and Maricopa County through the Parks and Recreation Department in the not-to-exceed amount of $99,000. This Memorandum of Understanding is funded by a grant from United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, (CFDA 15.238 Challenge Cost Share). Approve an appropriation adjustment increasing the FY 2009-2010 Parks and Recreation Department (300), Grants Fund (230), Non-recurring/non-project (0001) revenue and expenditure authority budgets in the amount of $25,000. The department's indirect cost rate for FY 2009 is 42.5% and calculated to be $10,625 for FY 2010. Parks and Recreation Department also requests a waiver to the grant policy for recovery of indirect costs so that all funding received may directly benefit the project. 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. Also authorize the parks and Recreation Department to sign necessary reporting and reimbursement paperwork to administer the grant. This Memorandum of Understanding is funded by a grant from United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, (CFDA 15.238 Challenge Cost Share). The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to create a more formal working relationship, share resources, and provide recreation and resource management and protection for the public lands located within an area known as the Vulture Mountain Cooperative Recreation Management Area. This Memorandum of Understanding is effective from October 7, 2009 until October 7, 2014. (C-30-10-007-3-00)

57. APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENT FOR CARRY-OVER GRANT FUNDS In accordance with A.R.S.42-17106(B), approve an appropriation adjustment increasing the FY 2010-11 Parks and Recreation Department (300) Parks & Recreation Grant Fund (230) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001) revenues and expenditures in the amount of $71,159. This budget adjustment is necessary due to the delay in building the White Tanks Regional Park Nature Pond and Riparian Habitat that are funded through grants. Additionally, the Vulture Mountain Cooperative Recreation Management Area received additional funding from FY10 agreement C-30-10-007-3-00 which was not fully expended in FY 2009-10. 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-30-11-015-2-00)
