38. ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF GIFT CARDS FOR THE TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL INCENTIVE PROGRAM Approve the acceptance and use of Bashas’ grocery vouchers and Chevron gas cards provided by Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), to Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Tuberculosis Control Program. For FY23, t he MCDPH TB Clinic received a donation of 100 grocery vouchers at $10 each for a total value of $1,000 and 203 gas cards at $10 each for a total value of $2,030, for a combined value of $3,030. Gift card and voucher donations have been received by the TB program for a number of years. We expect they will reoccur. Cash and/or in-kind match is not applicable nor are ongoing cash contributions required should they cease to be provided to the program. TB Services are a mandated function and donations such as these incentivize the treatment program. Awareness and treatment of TB patients is a benefit to our citizens. To our knowledge, the donations to the TB program are not given in a competitive manner. Program costs associated with the donations are absorbed by the TB programs grant budget. Administration costs are absorbed by the department’s operating budget. MCDPH’s indirect rate for FY23 is 17.24%. This in-kind donation does not allow for indirect, therefore, indirect expense estimated at $445.56 are not recoverable. 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 expend itures 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 ADHS and will not affect the County’s general fund. (C-86-23-110-X-00)
