63. GRANT BUDGET APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENTS Approve decrease in the appropriated budget for Public Health (860) Public Health Grant Fund (532) Operating (0000) in the amount of $5,120,000 in revenues and $5,120,000 in expenditures as identified on the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Grant Summary Worksheet on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board. This appropriation adjustment brings MCDPH’s grant budget to the amount of $43,606,606. The appropriation adjustment is necessary because Public Health grant year end forecasted revenues and expenditures are materially lower than revised budget. This budget reduction is impacted by a decrease of grant award in WIC, delays in starting new grant awards and timing issues. This action is in accord with the action plan developed by the Office of Management and Budget and MCDPH to insure compliance with the Board approved Budgeting for Results Accountability Policy. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. The approval of this budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The indirect cost rate is 17%, as calculated by the Department of Finance. Most of the grants for FY 2010-2011 allow for indirect cost recovery, as reflected in the funding agreements. The status of the indirect costs for each grant is noted on the Grant Summary Worksheet on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board. (C-86-11-088-2-00)
