27. AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR DONATION FROM THE ARIZONA PROPANE GAS ASSOCIATION (APGA) FOR THE PROPANE FIRE PIT PROGRAM Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Amendment 2 to the Agreement between the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) and the Arizona Propane Gas Association (APGA) for APGA to provide a restricted donation of matching funding to MCAQD for the Propane Fire Pit Program and accept the funds. This Agreement will provide for continued matching funds to support MCAQD’s Propane Fire Pit Program which encourages the exchange of wood burning fire pits for cleaner burning propane gas devices, to aid in the reduction of particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) during the wood burning season. This program will be marketed to all County residents and will offer through e-mail a voucher which can be taken to select Home Depot stores within Maricopa County for a discount on a propane fire pit. There will be a $50.00 discount provided by the County and a $25.00 discount provided by the APGA, for a total of $75 per program participant. The term of this Amendment shall commence on the Effective Date and end no later than April 1, 2021. PM 2.5 is an EPA pollutant that is known to cause damaging health issues, including acute asthma symptoms leading to hospitalization and heart disease, as the tiny pollutant can deposit deep into the lungs and enter the blood stream. If PM 2.5 should exceed the EPA 24 hour or annual standard, this could lead to more stringent regulations and negative economic impact for Maricopa County. Donation revenue funds of $30,000 are deposited into Fund 504 as they are received. Donation funds are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation; therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. The approval of this action requested does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to ARS 42-17105. This county-wide program is in all districts. (C-85-21-018-X-00)
