14. INCREASE IN GRANT FUNDS TO PURCHASE MOBILE RADIOS FOR METHAMPHETAMINE TASK FORCE Approve acceptance of an increase of $123,000 in grant funds from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Initiative XVI, Maricopa County Methamphetamine Task Force (MCMTF). This funding is to purchase mobile radios and accessories so that Task Force members can operate on the same frequency. The grant period is October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2009. Also approve an increase to the Sheriff’s Office grant fund (251) revenue and expenditure appropriations for FY 2008-09 not-to-exceed $123,000. These 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. This increase will bring the total awards from $345,261.82 to $468,261.82. The Sheriff’s Office FY 2007-08 indirect cost rate is 11.7%. The grantor does not allow for indirect costs recovery. The unrecoverable indirect costs are estimated at $14,391. The Sheriff's Office has participated in HIDTA grants for approximately ten years. (C-50-07-500-M-02)
