21. ACCEPT FUNDING FROM THE ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE FOR THE FY 2022 VICTIMS’ RIGHTS PROGRAM (VRP) Approve the Agreement and acceptance of $152,722.00 in advance and reoccurring grant funding from the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Victims’ Rights Program (VRP). The Award Agreement is – A.G. # 2022-046. The term of this funding is July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY22 is 14.74%. Unrecoverable indirect costs associated with this Agreement are estimated to be $22,511.22 and will be absorbed by the Detention Fund. There is no requirement of match funds. This grant is competitive and does not require on-going cash contributions after the grant period end date. Grant revenues are not “local revenues” for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by budget law. The Sheriff’s Office is mandated by Arizona Revised Statues Title 13, Chapter 40 (Crime Victim’s Rights) and Title 8, Chapter 3 (Victim Rights for Juvenile Offenses) requires victim notification upon a suspect’s arrest, next court appearance, release from custody, post-conviction/post adjudication release etc. This funding directly supports the overall mandated function of providing victim notification services. It covers approximately one-third of the position costs and operating expense for five Justice System Clerks, one Justice System Clerk Senior, and one Justice System Clerk Supervisor. The Sheriff’s Office funds the remaining cost for these positions, calculated to be $338,551. (C-50-22-235-X-00)
