21. ASPCA TRANSPORT PROGRAM GRANT AGREEMENT Approve the acceptance of grant funds from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in the amount of $60,000 to support the relocation of animals to collaborating shelters with available space and a community need for adoptable pets. The grant award begins upon execution and ends on December 9, 2021. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Grant Acceptance Agreement and authorize the Animal Care and Control appointed authority and/or designee to sign other grant-related documents, such as reporting requirements, etc., as applicable. The Animal Care and Control indirect rate for FY2020 is 19.18%. Total grant indirect costs are estimated to be $11,508.00 and are not recoverable. Costs will be absorbed in the Animal Care and Control Fund 572 Operating Budget. The grant award is a one-time, non-recurring funding opportunity. Grant funds are provided using the advance funding method where funding is received in advance of actual expenditures. The grant award does not require a cash contribution, nor an in-kind contribution, and there are no future or ongoing contributions required following the grant period. The grant award does provide funding for a mandated service, which is to provide adequate care of animals that are sheltered with the Animal Care and Control Department. This grant was competitively bid. 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. The approval of this action does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. (C-79-20-084-G-00)
