65. GRANT LETTER OF AGREEMENT WITH ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC HEALTH ACCREDITATION Approve and accept a Grant Letter of Agreement (708546) with Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (Foundation) for Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Performance Improvement program. This grant will enable MCDPH to accelerate it readiness to submit a statement of intent to apply for national accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). The total budget amount is not-to-exceed $237,845 for the grant period is April 15, 2013 through January 14, 2015. This grant deviates from Maricopa County policy A2505 and does not allow for full indirect cost reimbursement, but a maximum of 12% indirect cost reimbursement. The Department of Public Health’s indirect rate for FY2012-13 is 15.8%; therefore $25,483 is allowable and $8,070 is unallowable. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. This Amendment does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. (C-86-13-079-G-00)
