19. RESOLUTION OF MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA APPROVING THE SUBMISSION OF PROJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION IN ARIZONA’S 2017 HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN – GOHS FY2017 Adopt a Resolution approving application and acceptance of up to $587,511 in reimbursable grant funding from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). This pass-through federal funding will be used for overtime and equipment to accomplish projects relating to all aspects of highway safety. This resolution for Maricopa County specifically approves the filing and acceptance of grant funding from the priority Program areas of Accident Investigation, Impaired Driving (DUI Enforcement & Underage Drinking Enforcement), Police Traffic Services/Speed Control and Occupant Protection/Buckle Up AZ. The anticipated term of the funding is October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. 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 FY2016 is 17.0%. Unrecoverable indirect costs associated with this grant funding are estimated to be $99,876.87. This grant funding reimburses a maximum of 40% for employer related expenses (ERE)—FICA/Medicare and Retirement. Amounts over this percent, estimated to be $49,675, are supported within the Sheriff’s General Fund allocation. This funding is earmarked primarily for overtime expense and the purchase of program related equipment items. The Sheriff’s Office has participated in GOHS grants for approximately 18 years.
