32. ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF GIFT CARDS FOR THE TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL INCENTIVE PROGRAM Approve the acceptance and use of gift cards, provided by Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), to Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Tuberculosis Clinic (TB), Tuberculosis Control-Incentive Program. For FY20, the MCDPH TB Clinic received a donation of 500 Walmart gift cards at $10 each for a total value of $5,000. Gift cards are provided by ADHS periodically and are not offered on a competitive bases. Gift cards and vouchers have been furnished to the Department’s TB program for a number of years. There is no cash or in-kind match required. Should these cease to be provided to the TB Program, ongoing support would not be required as they do not address a part of the TB mandated functions, but do incentivize patient visits and treatment. There are no costs to be absorbed by the department’s operating budget. MCDPH’s indirect rate for FY2020 is 19.2%. This in-kind donation does not allow for indirect, therefore, indirect expense estimated at $960.00 are unrecoverable. 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 donation 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 donation through a future reconciliation. Funding is provided by a donation from Walmart and ADHS and will not affect the County’s general fund. (C-86-20-042-D-00)
