7. COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION--MORTGAGE FRAUD TASK FORCE Approve the Cost Reimbursement Agreement between the Maricopa Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and acceptance of up to $15,855 for participation in the Mortgage Fraud Task Force. This Agreement will become effective upon signatures of the parties and may be terminated at any time upon mutual consent, or unilaterally upon written notice from the terminating party to the other party at least 30 days prior to the termination date. The Sheriff’s indirect cost rate for FY2009 is 12.2%, the unrecoverable indirect costs are estimated to be $1,934.31. The FBI will notify the Sheriff’s Office of the applicable annual limits prior to October 1st each year. Also approve an increase to the Sheriff’s Office grant fund (251) revenue and expenditure appropriations for FY 2008-09 not-to-exceed by $15,855. 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. Approval of this item will allow the Sheriff’s Office to recover overtime expenses incurred while participating in the FBI Mortgage Fraud Task Force (MFTF). MFTF is a joint cooperative effort among the FBI and local law enforcement agencies creating an efficient and cohesive unit capable of detecting, investigating and prosecuting organized groups and individuals involved in Federal/State/Local financial crimes.
