81. GRANT AWARD AND MOU WITH INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT FOR SPREADING COMMUNITY ACCELERATORS THROUGH LEARNING AND EVALUATION PROGRAM Approve a Grant Award and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health for a 20-month intensive “learning and doing” program designed to assist communities to achieve unprecedented results in improving the health and well-being of people, populations and the community-at-large. The budget is in the not-to-exceed amount of $71,000 for the budget and contract period of May 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016. Maricopa County Department of Public Health’s indirect rate for FY2014-2015 is 14.8%. The grant allows 12% indirect costs, estimated at $7,607. Unrecoverable indirect costs are estimated at $1,775. Departmental indirect rates are reestablished at the beginning of each fiscal year and the future indirect rates will be collected at the corresponding rates. 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. Funding for this Agreement is provided by a Grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and will not affect the County’s general fund. (C-86-15-107-G-00)
