12. FUNDING FROM THE ARIZONA GAME AND FISH COMMISSION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT BOATING SAFETY FUND FY16 Approve the acceptance of up to $360,000 in continued funding from the Arizona Game and Fish Commission for Law Enforcement Boating Safety. The term of this funding is July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This funding will be used to pay for personnel costs, purchase equipment, maintain/repair and/or replace watercraft patrol boat(s) to continue effectively patrolling the waterways in Maricopa County. 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 indirect cost rate for FY16 is 17% ($61,200). These funds are the result of A.R.S. § 5-383 and indirect cost recovery is not allowed. There will be capital equipment purchases valued at $175,000 that are excluded from the indirect cost calculation. Thus the unrecoverable indirect cost impact from this funding is ($31,450). Acceptance of these funds will enable the Sheriff’s Office to purchase equipment and /or other items relating to patrolling the waterways in Maricopa County. (C-50-16-006-G-00)

14. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT WITH SAFE BOATS INTERNATIONAL FOR REPLACEMENT PATROL BOAT Approve a Competition Impractical Procurement as authorized by Maricopa County Procurement Code, MCI-351, for the not-to-exceed amount of $200,000.00 with Safe Boats International to purchase a replacement patrol boat for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Lake Patrol Division. The current patrol boat (LP67) has exceeded its useful life. This purchase is funded through a Boating Law Enforcement Safety grant. The Board approved the acceptance of funding from the Arizona Game and Fish Commission on August 19, 2015, (C-50-16-006-G-00) for law enforcement boating that authorized the purchase and/or replacement of watercraft patrol boats. MCSO currently has four (4) Safe Boats in its fleet which have proven to provide a much better overall operational platform for Lake Patrol's operational requirements. SAFE boats were designed for, and used in a variety of law enforcement mission profiles to include port security, patrol, marine and boating safety, law enforcement, drug interdiction, and search and rescue. The Safe Boat is a semi-rigid construction that utilizes a full-sized foam collar system for flotation, stability and fendering. This full-sized foam collar system is unlike other manufacturer's collar systems that are susceptible to deflation and catastrophic failure due to temperature fluctuations, live fire/bullets, or striking docks, buoys, pilings or other obstacles.
