21. GRANT FOR THE FIRST THINGS FIRST - FAMILY VISITATION IN SOUTH PHOENIX GRANT Approve the grant application and Application Amendment #1 (FTF-RC014-10-0029-00) to Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Board, First Things First by the Department of Public Health for the First Things First’s Family Visitation in South Phoenix grant. If awarded, the amount will not exceed $ 750,000 for the budget term beginning July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Funding amount is tentative pending the approved grant award upon acceptance by the First Things First designee. This contract can be renewed by First Things First on a year to year basis for a total three year term. If awarded, an agenda item will be submitted requesting appropriation adjustment. Also, authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. This grant deviates from County policy A2505 and does not allow for full indirect cost reimbursement, but a maximum of 10% indirect cost reimbursement. The Department of Public Health’s indirect rate for FY 2009-10 is 18%; therefore $68,182 is allowable and $54,545 is unallowable. Funding for this grant will be provided by First Things First and will not affect the County general fund. (C-86-09-064-G-00)
