Item Text

19. AMENDMENT TO OPERATING AND FINANCIAL PLAN WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FOREST SERVICE, TONTO NATIONAL FOREST Approve “Amendment of Grant or Agreement” #2 to accept funding in the amount of $100,400 for the CY 2023 Operating and Financial Plan (Exhibit A) between Maricopa County on behalf of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Tonto National Forest. The reimbursement period will be retroactive to January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. Also approve a rollover amount of $43,078.99 from the CY 2022 Agreement. Also approve an estimated amount of $30,000 that is allowed for in the agreement for special enforcement situations that include but are not limited to fire emergencies, drug enforcement, and certain group gatherings for a total of $173,478.99. The MCSO Indirect Rate is 12.30%. Total grant indirect costs are estimated to be $21,337.92, and none of this amount is recoverable. The unrecoverable amount of $21,337.92 will be absorbed within the Sheriff’s General Fund operations. This grant award is multi-year and recurring. The Sheriff’s Office has been providing these services for more than 30 years. The award does not require a cash contribution, nor an in-kind contribution, and there are no future or ongoing contributions required following the grant period. This service is not mandated; however, it furthers the Sheriff’s public safety mandate. Funding is used to pay deputy overtime, the leases on two vehicles, monthly charges for cell phones, and other supplies related to this grant agreement for MCSO to assist in patrolling portions of the Tonto National Forest, located in Maricopa County. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. (C-50-23-166-X-00)
