The grant award was not competitive. The Department of Public Health’s Indirect Rate for FY20-21 is 18.8%. Indirect costs are estimated at $15,130 all of which is 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.

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-86-22-193-X-00)
