The Sheriff’s Office is mandated by Arizona Revised Statues Title 13, Chapter 40 (Crime Victim’s Rights) and Title 8, Chapter 3 (Victim Rights for Juvenile Offenses) requires victim notification upon a suspect’s arrest, next court appearance, release from custody, post-conviction/post adjudication release etc. This funding award offsets a portion of the cost to meet this mandate and provides funding for positions as follows: .32 FTE of five (5) Justice System Clerk positions, .32 FTE of one (1) Justice System Clerk Senior and .32 FTE of one (1) Justice System Clerk Supervisor position. The award also funds certain operating expenses.

The MCSO indirect cost rate for FY24 is 26.71%. Unrecoverable indirect costs associated with this Agreement are estimated to be $48,879.30 and will be absorbed by the Detention Fund. This funding is recurring, there is no matching requirement nor is there a competitive bid process for this grant. The grant award does not require ongoing cash contributions after the grant period end date. 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.
