28. THE NINA MASON PULLIAM CHARITABLE TRUST GRANT AGREEMENT AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from the Nina Mason Pulliam Trust Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) in the amount not-to-exceed $75,000. The grant award begins upon approval and ends on May 31, 2025. The grant provides funding for a mandated service, which is to support lifesaving objectives at the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. More specifically, the trust dollars will be used to expand our Foster program allowing us to create the Canine Advocate Placement Program (CAPP) focused on large dog fostering which will improve our foster program’s effectiveness. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Agreement and authorize the Animal Care and Control’s appointed authority and/or designee to electronically accept the grant through the grant portal and sign grant-related documents, such as, reporting requirements, etc., as applicable to administer the grant. In accordance with A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the increase of revenue and expenditure authority in the Animal Care and Control (D790) Animal Control Grants Fund (573) Non-Recurring Non-Project (NRNP) appropriation group by $75,000 in Fiscal Year 2024. Also, authorize the Office of Budget and Finance to increase the revenue and expenditure authority in FY 2025 for the Animal Care and Control (D790) Animal Control Grants Fund (573) Non-Recurring Non-Project (NRNP) budgets by $75,000. The grant allows a 0% rate or $0 for indirect costs. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Fiscal Year 2024 indirect cost rate at 13.62% or $10,215. The recoverable cost rates for administering this grant are $0 and the Animal Care and Control will absorb the non-recoverable indirect cost of $10,215 into the department’s operating budget over the next two fiscal years. This grant is non-recurring, and a cash or in-kind contribution is not applicable. There are no future or ongoing contributions required following the grant period. 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. Funding for this agreement is provided by a grant from The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust. This request will increase the grant budget appropriation in the Animal Control Grants Fund (573) to accommodate revenues and expenditures authorized by the grant. 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-79-24-016-X-00)
