32. ASPCA TRANSPORT PROGRAM GRANT CARRY-OVER AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT In accordance with A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the increase of expenditure authority in the FY 2022 Animal Care and Control (D790) Animal Care and Control Grant Fund (573) Non-Recurring Non-Project (NRNP) by $20,730. Grant funds from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was previously awarded/approved in FY 2020 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. Due to relocation challenges during the Covid-19 Pandemic and the recent Distemper outbreak, animal relocations between shelters have been difficult and delayed. The one-time expenditure adjustment will allow Animal Care and Control to spend the remaining grant fund balance in FY 2022. The grant allows a 0% rate or $0 for indirect costs to administer this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Fiscal Year 2022 indirect rate at 14.30%. Total grant indirect costs on this carry-over are estimated to be $2,964.00 and are not recoverable. Costs will be absorbed into the Animal Care and Control Fund 572 Operating Budget. The grant award was 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-79-22-029-X-00)
