63. FRIENDS OF MARICOPA COUNTY ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL BUDGET ADJUSTMENT In accordance with A.R.S. §42-17106 (B), authorize the following adjustments to the FY 2026 Budget: Increase expenditure authority for the Animal Care and Control (D790) Animal Care Donations Fund (575) Non-Recurring Non Project (NRNP) up to $350,000 to explore the formation of the Friends of Animal Care and Control. The funding is available from Animal Care and Control's unrestricted donation revenues. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-251(62), the County may enter into agreements with charitable organizations to solicit donations, property, or services for non-mandated animal care services. Donation funds are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitations and, therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. Approval of these actions does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. (C-79-26-006-X-00)
