34. AGREEMENT WITH THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR RRT-CBRNE SUSTAINMENT PROJECT (RRTSUST) - FFY2024 Approve the Agreement and acceptance of grant funds to the Sheriff’s Office from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, RRT-CBRNE Sustainment (RRTSUST) Agreement Number 23-AZDOHS-HSGP-230813-02 in the amount of $113,460 for the award period beginning October 1, 2023 and terminating on September 30, 2024. This Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties by written notice to the other parties thirty (30) business days prior to termination. The funding award is recurring and has been awarded to the Sheriff’s Office for the past twelve years. There is no match requirement. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY24 is 16.72%, applicable to the award amount of $113,460 less capital expenses of $51,220 for an indirect cost base of $62,240 and indirect costs of $10,406.53. Indirect costs are unallowable by the terms of this Agreement unless applied for and approved in writing (page 4, Allowable Costs Section), and $10,406.53 in indirect costs will be absorbed by the General Fund. There are no future or ongoing contributions required after the grant period ends; however, property (items) purchased with these funds must remain available to the unit for the duration of its existence and/or the useful life of the item. This is not a mandated function although it supports the MCSO public safety mandate and provides a benefit to the citizens by integrating information sharing and dissemination to ensure that adequate capabilities exist to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from incidents involving radiological accidents and incidents, resulting in a more safe and secure community. This is a competitive award. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is one of several local law enforcement agencies in the Phoenix metro area that participate in this effort. This is reimbursement funding that will be used to purchase non-capital and capital equipment. 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.
