41. SUB-AWARD AGREEMENT WITH PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE FOR HEAT SURVEILLANCE STUDY Approve and accept fixed-price Sub-Award Agreement (No.1021103) between Public Health Institute (PHI), Climate Change, Health and Equity Nexus: Framework to Action and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Office of Epidemiology to provide funding to conduct a scan of activities pertinent to climate change and health within the local jurisdiction. The award amount is $30,000 for the budget period start date from January 1, 2016 through end date June 30, 2017. Since 2006, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health has been tracking heat-related illness and death. Through death surveillance we have identified that around half (ranges from 40%-55%) of deaths occur indoors and about 70% of those that died indoors had air conditioning but were either unable or unwilling to use it. We aim to supplement current general fund heat surveillance expenditures with these grant funds to better understand the barriers to air conditioner use in people that are at risk for these preventable outcomes. Below is a list of activities that will be completed: • Survey homebound individuals about their air conditioner use and preferences. This is conducted in partnership with the Area Council on Aging. • Record measured home temperature to the survey respondents perceived temperature in their home during the day. • Complete an assessment of all Valley assets such as subsidies, organizations, charities, etc. which could be a source of assistance to these homebound individuals and link these individuals to services. This Grant deviates from County Policy A2505 and does not allow for full indirect cost reimbursement, but a maximum of 10% indirect cost reimbursement as delegated in the Grant Agreement. MCDPH indirect rate for FY15-16 is 15.8%. The increased full indirect costs are estimated at $4,309 of which $2,727 is recoverable and $1,582 is unrecoverable. 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. (C-86-16-047-3-00)
