47. AGREEMENT WITH THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENT EXTREMIST (DVE) CONTRACT ANALYST (50DVEANLST) - FFY2025 Approve the Agreement and acceptance of grant funds to the Sheriff’s Office from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, DVE Contract Analyst (50DVEANLST) Agreement Number 24-AZDOHS-HSGP-240203-01 in the amount of $108,000 for the award period beginning October 1, 2024, and terminating on September 30, 2025. 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, this is the third year we have received this award. There is no match requirement. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY25 is 26.71%, applicable to the award amount of $108,000 less capital expenses of zero ($0) for an indirect cost base of $108,000 and indirect costs of $28,846.80. Indirect costs are unallowable by the terms of this Agreement unless applied for and approved in writing (page 5, Allowable Costs Section), and $28,846.80 in indirect costs will be absorbed by the General Fund. There are no future or ongoing contributions required after the grant period ends. This is not a mandated function although it supports the MCSO public safety mandate and provides a benefit to the citizens by providing a specialized DVE Analyst to find, collect and analyze open-source data from the internet, which would allow significant collaboration with local entities on emerging threats to local and regional areas. 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 pay for a grant funded analyst position, a laptop and a computer tower. 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.
