47. THE ARIZONA GAME AND FISH COMMISSION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT BOATING SAFETY FUND FY24 Approve acceptance of up to $300,000 in continued funding from the Arizona Game and Fish Commission for Law Enforcement Boating Safety. The term of this funding is estimated to be July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. This funding will be used to pay for personnel costs, purchase equipment, maintain/repair and/or replace watercraft patrol boat(s) so that MCSO can continue effectively patrolling the waterways. This is a mandated public safety function in Maricopa County. Also approve one-time additions to fleet of one Safe Boat and one 25'trailer. This funding award formulaic and non-competitive. It is recurring and has been awarded to the Sheriff’s Office for many years. These funds are the result of A.R.S. § 5-383 and indirect cost recovery is not allowed. The Sheriff’s indirect cost rate for FY24 is 16.72%. Of the $300,000 estimated award, there will be capital equipment purchases valued at $200,000 that will be excluded in the indirect cost calculation. The indirect cost basis is $100,000 with a total unrecoverable indirect cost amount of $16,720 to be absorbed by the General Fund. There is no match requirement and there are no future or ongoing contributions required after the grant period ends; however, there is an expectation to continue patrolling Maricopa County waterways if the funding from the State was to end. This estimated funding amount is equal to the funding amount from FY 2023. 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.
