Item Text

19. IGA WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND HUMAN SMUGGLING Approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between Maricopa County, on behalf of the Sheriff's Office, and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) that enhances law enforcement services concerning illegal immigration and human smuggling by providing increased funding to MCSO as intended by Law 2009, Chapter 1, 1st Special Session, Section 2. This agreement provides up to $1.6 million of funding to investigate, disrupt, or deter crimes relating to illegal immigration and human smuggling and takes effect July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. Also approve 15 critical position exceptions for the following positions that are necessary to this program: 1 Enforcement Lieutenant: 2 Enforcement Sergeants; 9 law enforcement officers; and 3 detention officers. These positions will be established in the Sheriff's Grant Fund (251) and will be abolished at the end of the funding period. Also per A.R.S. 42-17106 approve an increase of $1,600,000 to the Sheriff 's FY2011 (500) Grant Fund (251) operating (0000) revenue and expenditure budgets. 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. A 25% in kind match on actual expenditures is required. This match will be met primarily from the Sheriff's General Fund (100) appropriation from a combination of effort from various enforcement positions. The Sheriff's Office indirect cost rate for FY 2011 is 14% and this funding does not support indirect costs. The unrecoverable indirect costs for this funding are $224,000. Note: This item is continued to the September 1, 2010 meeting. (C-50-11-005-G-00)
