29. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SUBMISSION OF PROJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION IN ARIZONA’S 2023 GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN Adopt a Resolution approving application and acceptance of up to $711,885 in reimbursable grant funding from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). This pass-through federal funding will be used for overtime, training and equipment to accomplish projects related to highway safety. This resolution for Maricopa County specifically authorizes the filing and acceptance of grant funding from the priority Program areas: 1) a. Impaired Driving (DUI Enforcement; Underage Drinking Enforcement; officer training for recognizing impairment and enforcing the law) $462,344; and b. Impaired Driving (Warrant Details) $42,000; 2) Accident Investigation, $116,541; and 3) Police Traffic Services Reckless/Aggressive Driver education and enforcement, speed related patrol enforcement, DUI enforcement/alcohol violations and school speed zone and construction zone enforcement) $91,000. The anticipated term of the funding is October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. The Sheriff’s Office has received this funding for approximately 20 years. It is competitive and recurring. There is no match requirement. The funding limits employer related expense reimbursements to 40% and the Sheriff’s Office is required to fund the difference ($152,360) from its general fund appropriation. This funding does not allow indirect cost recovery. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY2023 is 12.30%. This funding is earmarked primarily for overtime expense, training and the purchase of program related equipment. Capital equipment purchases comprise $99,512 of the $711,885 total, for an indirect cost base of $612,373 and estimated unrecoverable indirect costs of $75,322. There are no future or ongoing contributions required after the grant ends. This funding supports and enhances the Sheriff’s Office public safety mandate. Also approve three one-time additions to fleet of fully equipped, police-packaged vehicles; and per ARS 38-538-03, approve exemptions from markings for these vehicles. The Aggressive Driver grant funds one vehicle and DUI Enforcement funds two. Specific vehicle information to be provided following acquisition. Annual vehicle operating expense is estimated to be $7,500 each for a total of $22,500 to be paid from the general fund. The vehicles will be retired at the end of useful life with no funding for replacement from the General Fund. 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. This funding is earmarked primarily for overtime expense, training, services and the purchase of program related equipment items that include three patrol vehicles with radios and MDCs.
