37. CONTRACT WITH ARIZONA METH PROJECT INC Approve a Contract between the Arizona Meth Project Inc. (Employer Identification Number 26-3584528) and Maricopa County through the County Manager’s Office in the amount of $51,101. The purpose of this Contract is to provide one-time funding to the Arizona Meth Project Inc. for the purpose of outreach and media efforts. This Contract is effective from July 1, 2009 until June 30, 2010. The AZ METH PROJECT has been managed by Maricopa County on behalf of the entire State of Arizona. At this time, both Maricopa County and the Meth Project Foundation agree that it is most appropriate for oversight of the Arizona Meth Project to transition to a 501(c)3 non-profit agency, as is the situation in other states where the Meth Project has a presence. The total amount of $51,101 to be transferred is money currently held by Maricopa County, donated from private individuals, businesses, and Native American communities to help sustain the Arizona Meth Project. No Maricopa County funds are being transferred. (C-42-09-014-3-00)
