76. NOTICE OF AWARD WITH HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION FOR HEALTHY START INITIATIVE: ENHANCED SERVICES Approve Notice of Award (NOA) H4952117-01-00, for Healthy Start Initiative (HSI): Enhanced Services, from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH). The NOA is in the amount of $1,100,000.00 for the budget period September 30, 2023, through September 29, 2024. The term of the award is September 30, 2023, through September 29, 2028. The Department of Health’s indirect rate for FY24 is 15.65%. Indirect costs are estimated at $148,854.30, all of which is recoverable. Departmental indirect rates are re-established at the beginning of each fiscal year and any future indirect rate will be collected at the corresponding rates. The HSI: Enhanced Services grant award is competitive and this is the first time it has been awarded to the Department. It is unknown if it will be awarded again in future years. This will only be determined if the program applies for it again after this award's term. This competitive grant does not require an in-kind match, indirect cost is fully recoverable, and ongoing cash contributions are not required. Healthy Start services are not a mandated function but provide benefit Maricopa County residents. All program costs are allocated to the grant so there will be no additional burden on the department’s operating budget. 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 HRSA and will not affect the County’s General Fund. (C-86-24-069-X-00)
