68. GRANT FUNDS FROM FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDS AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT Approve the continuation of grant funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), for the approximate amount of $95,889 in emergency relief funds. The funding was approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 22, 2015 (C-64-15-101-M-00) for FY15 but was not approved by FHWA until September of 2015. Additionally, in accordance with A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the following amendment to the FY 2016 Maricopa Department of Transportation (640) Budget: a) Increase the revenue and expenditure authority for the Transportation Grant Fund (223) Non Recurring Non Project (0001) in the amount of $95,889. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The request for FHWA emergency relief funds is a result of the Norbert Storm on September 8, 2014 that caused flood damage to several County roadways. Supervisory Districts 4 and 5. (C-64-15-101-M-01)
