19. AGREEMENT WITH THE MARICOPA COUNTY, DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR SECURING THE CITIES (STC) FY24 FUNDING Approve the Agreement and acceptance of grant funds to the Sheriff’s Office (Subrecipient) from the Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management (County), Securing the Cities (STC) in the amount of $175,680 for the award period beginning July 1, 2023 and terminating on June 30, 2024. This Agreement may be terminated immediately by the County upon written notice to Subrecipient due to loss or reduction of Federal grant funds. Both the County and the Subrecipient may terminate, in whole or in part, as set forth in 2 CFR §200.340. The purpose of the award it to prevent the successful possession, movement, and deployment of a nuclear or radiological weapon and component materials by an adversary within Maricopa County by enhancing the nuclear detection capabilities of the county and local agencies. Funding will be used to cover personnel costs (regular and overtime salaries) of the MCSO employees participating in DEM’s training events and MCSO’s personnel costs to cover the normal duty posts of those participating in the training events. On January 26, 2022, the BOS approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Maricopa County Securing the Cities Program through the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) in connection with the Securing the Cities (STC) Program for Maricopa County (C-5-22-094-X-00) This is the second time the Sheriff’s Office has received this funding. The award was non-competitive and there is no match requirement and there are no future or ongoing contributions required after the grant period ends. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY24 is 16.72%, applicable to the award amount of $175,680 with no capital expenses for an indirect cost base of $175,680 and indirect costs of $29,373.70. Indirect costs will be absorbed by the General Fund. This is not a mandated function although it supports the MCSO public safety mandate. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is one of several local law enforcement agencies in the Phoenix metro area that participate in this effort. These 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.
