57. AGREEMENT WITH THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR COUNTER TERRORISM UNIT POLE CAMERAS - FFY2027 FUNDED BY THE PHOENIX URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE Approve the Agreement and acceptance of grant funds to the Sheriff’s Office from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, Counter Terrorism Unit Pole Cameras Agreement Number 25-AZDOHS-HSGP-250811-01 in the amount of $18,594 for the award period beginning August 3, 2026, and terminating on September 30, 2027. This award is funded by the Phoenix Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). This Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties by written notice to the other parties thirty (30) business days prior to termination. This is the first time the Sheriff’s Office has received this funding. There is no match requirement. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY27 is 25.38%, applicable to the award amount of $18,594 with $18,594 in capital expenses for an indirect cost base of zero ($0) and indirect costs of $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 Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) public safety mandate and provides a benefit to the citizens by updating crucial equipment to enhance the capabilities of the MCSO Terrorism Liaison Officer's (TLO’s) to protect county infrastructure and mitigate incidents of terrorism involving chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear and explosive materials. 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. 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.
