29. MOU AND COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (CRA) WITH THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION FOR HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE INVESTIGATIONS Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO). This MOU outlines the mission of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF), and formalizes the relationship between the DEA and MCSO, which will govern the process by which MCSO employees are detailed to work with the DEA as part of the HSTF. Approve the Cost Reimbursement Agreement (CRA) between the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) in the amount of $382,374.87. This funding is recurring and has been awarded to the Sheriff’s Office for the past fourteen (14) years. There is no match requirement. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY26 is 27.66%, applicable to the award amount of $382,374.87 less capital expenses of $5,245.49 for an indirect cost base of $377,129.38 and indirect costs of $104,313.99 which 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 disrupting the illicit drug trafficking organizations in Maricopa County and the State of Arizona resulting in a more safe and secure community. This is a competitive award. This is reimbursement funding that will be used to purchase capital and non-capital equipment; to maintain &/or repair previously purchased equipment; to secure subscriptions for technical service; to pay monthly data charges relating to several types of equipment; and to secure contracted analyst service. 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.
