37.

This EECBG Grant will be used for the implementation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure at the Southeast Region Mesa Parking Garage. The grant award application was approved by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on July 7, 2024. The EECBG grant utilizes a voucher program where funds spent by the capital project, Electric Vehicle Chargers (ELCV) will incur the costs and be reimbursed by the grant. There is no match requirement on this grant. Ongoing contributions are not applicable for this grant. The Facilities Management Department (FMD) does not have an indirect rate as FMD is a central service department and indirect cost recovery is not applicable. The is a one-time grant award and the grant award is not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the citizens in several ways. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. 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. In accordance with A.R.S. 42-17106(B), approve the following adjustments to the FY 2025 budget: a. Decrease the Non-Departmental (D470) County Improvement Series (441) Electric Vehicle Chargers (ELCV) expenditure budget by $378,940 b. Approve an increase to the Non-Departmental (D470) General Fund County Improvements (445) Electric Vehicle Chargers (ELCV) expenditure budget by $378,940 These actions will have a county-wide net impact of zero and they do not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenue duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105.
