A-2. AGREEMENT WITH PETSMART CHARITIES, INC. FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF GRANTS Approve the Emergency Relief Grant Agreement between PetSmart Charities, Inc. and Maricopa County on behalf of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the acceptance of up to $62,453 in cash and in-kind supplies as emergency funding assistance for the Wittmann rescue. Each additional grant award will be in the form of Grant Statements to be incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety. This Agreement will become effective upon the last date signed and can be terminated by written notice of either party. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY2015 is 15.7%. Unrecoverable indirect costs associated with this Agreement are estimated to be $9,805.12. This specific funding will allow the Sheriff’s Office to provide medical services and necessary products for the 54 dogs and 18 cats rescued from a residence in Wittmann, AZ. These animals were being hoarded in a double-wide trailer, living in unsanitary and inhumane conditions. Several of the animals were malnourished and suffering from various medical conditions. Each grant statement will include the effective date, amount awarded, grant period and reporting obligations. (C-50-15-101-G-00)
