79. AMENDMENT TO IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM Approve Amendment 8 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Agreement No. ADHS17-133194, Emergency Preparedness Program (EPP) between Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Office of Preparedness and Response (OPR). Of the total Price Sheet, $2,257,890 was approved previously. The amendment provides an additional $252,808 for the COVID-19 response and is for the budget period March 5, 2020 through March 15, 2021. Funds can be used to cover pre-award costs dating back to January 1, 2020. The amendment also provides $1,720,093 for Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) activities for the budget period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. The IGA term began July 1, 2016 and ends June 30, 2021. The COVID 19 portion of this award is emergency funding and it is unknown at this time whether it will be reoccurring. The Emergency Management grant has been awarded to MCDPH for several years and is expected to continue. 10% in-kind or soft match is required and the OPR program tracks and reports. Ongoing cash contributions are not required. This is not a mandated function though it does provide a benefit to the citizens by strengthening the readiness of the community to prepare for, respond to, and recover from this public health emergency. The funding was not competitive. Maricopa County Department of Public Health’s Indirect Rate is 18.8% for FY21. Full indirect is allowable and estimated at $312,210. 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 ADHS and will not affect the County’s general fund. (C-86-21-009-X-00 )
