34. PETCO LOVE GRANT AGREEMENT AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from Petco Love in the amount not-to-exceed $35,000. The grant provides funding for a mandated service, which is to support lifesaving objectives at the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. Authorize the Animal Care and Control appointed authority, and/or designee, to accept the grant-related terms and submit all grant reports applicable under the grant. The grant award begins upon approval and ends on March 31, 2026. There is no grant award or signature required but by endorsing and depositing the grant award check, or accepting the electronic grant award deposit, the department agrees to the terms listed in the award email. 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 $35,000 in Fiscal Year 2025. The grant allows a 0% rate or $0 for indirect costs. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Fiscal Year 2025 indirect cost rate at 12.28% or $4,298. The recoverable cost rates for administering this grant are $0 and the Animal Care and Control will absorb the non-recoverable indirect cost of $4,298 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. Funding for this agreement is provided by a grant from Petco Love and was competitively bid. The grant cannot be used in any way that decreases the allocation or budget of governmental funds for animal welfare purposes. 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-79-25-014-X-00)

35. GRANTS FUND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT In accordance with A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the increase of expenditure authority in the Animal Care and Control (D790) Animal Control Grants Fund (573) Non-Recurring Non-Project (NRNP) appropriation group by $36,531 in Fiscal Year 2026. Grant funds from Petco Love (C-79-25-014-X-00) was previously awarded and approved in FY 2025 in the amount of $35,000 for the purpose of lifesaving objectives. Due to receiving the grant award late in the fiscal year, ACC was unable to spend it during FY 2025. The one-time expenditure adjustment will allow Animal Care and Control to spend the remaining grant fund balance within the grant term in FY 2026. Additionally, grant funds from Petsmart Charities Adoptions Preparation (C-79-25-010-X-00) was previously approved in FY 2025 in the amount of $30,000 for the purpose of preparing animals for adoption. Due to the timing of adoption events, ACC underspent the FY25 budget of $7,500 by $1,531. The one-time expenditure adjustment will allow Animal Care and Control to spend the remaining grant fund balance within the grant term in FY 2026. Both grants allow a 0% rate for indirect costs to administer this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Fiscal Year 2026 indirect cost rate at 12.83%. Total indirect costs on the grant carry-over balance are estimated to be $4,687 and are not recoverable so administrative costs will be absorbed into the Animal Care and Control Fund 572 Operating Budget. Funding for the agreements were provided by grants from Petco Love & Petsmart Charities and both were competitively bid. Both grants are 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 funds are provided using the advance funding method where funding was received in advance of actual expenditures. There are no future or ongoing contributions required following the grant period. This request will increase the grant budget appropriation in the Animal Control Grants Fund (573) to accommodate expenditures authorized by the grants. 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. These actions will have a County-wide net impact of zero and they do not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105.
