61. AGREEMENT WITH THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR TLO SUSTAINMENT - FFY2027 FUNDING Approve the Agreement and acceptance of grant funds to the Sheriff’s Office from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security,Terrorism Liaison Officer (TLO) Sustainment (TLOSUST) Agreement Number 25-AZDOHS-HSGP-250811-02 in the amount of $24,000 for the award period beginning August 3, 2026, and terminating on September 30, 2027. 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 and has been awarded to the Sheriff’s Office for the past seventeen years. There is no match requirement. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY27 is 25.38%, applicable to the award amount of $24,000 with zero ($0) in capital expenses for an indirect cost base of $24,000 and indirect costs of $6,091.20. Indirect costs are unallowable by the terms of this Agreement unless applied for and approved in writing (page 5, Allowable Costs Section), and $6,091.20 in indirect costs will be absorbed by the General Fund. 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 responding to serious incidents involving hostages and/or individuals which have been identified as having involvement in serious criminal offenses and/or terrorist activities. 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.
