76. LETTER OF AGREEMENT WITH VITALYST HEALTH FOUNDATION Approve a Letter of Agreement (Contract Number: 2223-DM-0021-MAG-010) between Vitalyst Health Foundation (Vitalyst) and Maricopa County, by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Office of Nutrition & Active Living (ONAL), to provide funding thru its Medical Assistance Grants Program. The amount of funding is $75,000 for the budget term July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. This Letter of Agreement is a new award from Vitalyst; however, MCDPH did receive prior funding from this Grantor in the amount of $210,000 from 2018 through 2021 under C-86-16-048-3-01. These new funds are for the heart and lung services program and are to be used for direct services (such as screening, training, surgeries), program development related to direct services, and client-related equipment (such as regular and specialty aids, assistive devices, and adaptive equipment). MCDPH intends to use this funding for the creation of the innovation lab that will pilot and develop Million Hearts®2022 related strategies including the reduction of tobacco use, biometric screenings, chronic disease self-management education, and community health worker training. There is no cash or in-kind match required and indirect costs are fully recoverable. Ongoing cash contributions are not required. This is not a mandated function but benefits our citizens with the provision of a program to educate individuals and communities to be well, stay well, and contribute to the health and well-being of each other. This program will help bridge the gap in the healthcare continuum by empowering CHWs to create a culture of wellness for those they serve under the auspice of the national Million Hearts®2022 initiative. MCDPH’s indirect rate for FY23 is 17.24%. The full indirect costs are estimated at $11,028.66, all of which are recoverable. 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-86-23-022-X-00)
