59. SUBARU LOVES PETS PROGRAM GRANT AGREEMENT AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT Approve the application and acceptance of the Subaru Loves Pets Program grant funds from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in the amount not-to-exceed $4,000. 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 October 31, 2025. 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 agreement. 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 $4,000 in Fiscal Year 2026. The grant allows a 0% rate or $0 for indirect costs. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Fiscal Year 2026 indirect cost rate at 12.83% or $513.20. The recoverable cost rates for administering this grant are $0 and the Animal Care and Control will absorb the non-recoverable indirect cost of $513.20 into the department’s operating budget in the current fiscal year. 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 ASPCA 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-79-26-004-X-00)
