16. APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENT FOR GRANT FUNDING FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (200609-01) Approve and authorize the Elections Department for the application of the Homeland Security Grant Program Award administered by the Arizona Department of Homeland Security (AZDOHS) and authorize the Chairman to approve the receipt of any and all such funds awarded. In accordance with A.R.S.42-17106(B), approve a revenue and expenditure appropriation adjustment increasing the FY 2022 Elections Department (210) Elections Grant Fund (248) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (NRNP) in the amount of $44,500. 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. The program will support the continued hardening of Maricopa County’s critical election equipment and data infrastructure. The acquisition of hardware, software, and critical services will harden security for both hard and cyber targets. The request represents the Office's efforts to continue to strengthen elections infrastructure and the mitigation and/or elimination of any security gaps identified during the 2020 election cycle and subsequent audits. Elections remain the cornerstone of American democracy and funding from the AZDOHS Homeland Security Grant Program will aid in the department’s mandate to provide fair, safe, and secure elections. The total amount of funds requested is $44,500. The grant period will cover the periods October 1st, 2021 through September 30th, 2022. The grant does not allow for indirect costs for which the County is eligible. The Maricopa County Elections Department composite indirect cost rate for FY 22 is 69.66% or $30,998.70. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $30,998.70. Nonrecoverable indirect costs will be covered by the departmental general fund budget. This grant is competitive and does not require a match or on-going cash contributions after the grant period end date. The grant award is nonrecurring and has not been awarded to the department in past years. Maricopa County and the Elections Department are eligible to apply for and receive grant funding through various state agencies. Maricopa County must apply for these funds and the Board of Supervisors must duly authorize the application. (C-36-22-005-X-00) 17. PRECINCT COMMITTEEMEN Pursuant to A.R.S. §16-821(B), authorize the appointment or cancellation of appointment of Precinct Committeemen. List is on file in the Clerk of the Board’s Office and retained in accordance with Arizona State Library, Archives, and Public Records (ASLAPR) approved retention schedule. (C-21-22-030-X-00)
