18. RESOLUTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS FROM THE OVERSIGHT COUNCIL ON DRIVING OR OPERATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE ABATEMENT Approve the Resolution and acceptance of up to $30,100 in continued grant funding from the Oversight Council on Driving or Operating under the Influence Abatement for DUI Enforcement and Underage Drinking Enforcement; Authorizing the Chair to execute the Grant Agreement (award documents); and Authorizes the Sheriff or his designee to file all financial and other reporting documents required in connection with such grants. This grant program provides funds for two types of programs as authorized by A.R.S. §28-1303. The purpose of the funding awarded is for reimbursement of overtime costs associated with DUI Enforcement. The term of this funding is estimated to be November 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. 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 FY2016 indirect costs rate is 17%. Unrecoverable indirect costs associated with this funding are estimated to be $5,117. This grant award reimburses a maximum of 40% for employer related expenses (ERE)—FICA/Medicare and Retirement. Amounts over this percent, estimated to be $3,563, are supported within the Sheriff’s General Fund allocation. Approval of this Agreement will allow the Sheriff’s Office to conduct DUI Enforcement within Maricopa County. This funding is to reimburse overtime costs associated with DUI enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office has previously participated in this grant program. (C-50-16-035-G-00)
