36. AGREEMENT WITH THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR TLO RADIATION DETECTION UTILITY VEHICLE - FY2024 AND ONE TIME ADDITION TO FLEET Approve the Agreement and acceptance of grant funds to the Sheriff’s Office from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, TLO Radiation Detection Utility Vehicle Agreement Number 23-AZDOHS-HSGP-230813-01 in the amount of $34,000 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. Also, approve the one-time addition to the fleet of one (1) TLO Radiation Detection Utility Vehicle. The vehicle is a specific component of this funding for use by a Terrorism Liaison Officers and will enhance the capability of the office to prepare for, respond to and mitigate incidents of terrorism involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) materials. This vehicle is a one-time addition to the fleet and will be retired from the fleet at the end of its useful life with no funding from the general fund for replacement. This is the first time the Sheriff’s Office has received this funding award and it is nonrecurring. There is no match requirement. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY24 is 16.72%, applicable to the award amount of $34,000 less capital expenses of $34,000 for an indirect cost base of zero ($0) and indirect costs of zero ($0). 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 coordinating with state and local governments with relevant and executable planning, training and exercises necessary to ensure adequate capabilities exist to prevent, protect against, and mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from incidents involving radiological accidents and incidents. 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 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.
