33. PERMANENT ADDITIONS TO THE FLEET Approve a permanent addition to the fleet of four (4) vehicles that were originally purchased as one-time additions to the fleet in FY2013 (C-85-12-007-V-00). These vehicles were purchased and are operated with funds provided by the US Department of Homeland Security Biowatch Grant. The latest amendment to this grant was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 4, 2017 (2006-ST-091-000003-12, Item C-85-16-012-G-01). At the time these vehicles were originally purchased in FY2013, the outlook for future amendments to the Biowatch Grant was uncertain. As the Maricopa County Air Quality Department enters the twelfth year of the Biowatch Grant, the future funding is more certain. The Biowatch Grant fully funds the operation and maintenance of these vehicles as well as for their replacement at end-of-life. The department intends to use Biowatch Grant funds to replace one of these vehicles in FY2018. These vehicles are used for the purpose of moving staff and equipment during the daily collection of air quality samples at 22 Biowatch monitors located at sites throughout Maricopa County. 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. A budget adjustment is not required. (C-85-18-006-M-00)
