87. ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS FROM THE NATIONAL HEALTHY START ASSOCIATION FOR MARICOPA COUNTY SOUTH PHOENIX HEALTHY START TO PROVIDE FOOD AND NUTRITION SUPPORT. Approve the acceptance of grants funds from the National Healthy Start Association (NHSA) for South Phoenix Healthy Start in the not-to-exceed amount of $10,000. Authorize the Board Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant will create a partnership between the NHSA and the Food and Nutrition for Better Health in South Phoenix (FAN) to identify leadership strengths, build leadership capacity, enhance organizations and community leadership capacity, identify community resources, and address community issues. The competitive budget award period is from June 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Funds for this grant come from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), CFDA 10.902 Grant # NR233A750012C003. This is a new grant. There is no cash or in-kind match required. This is not a mandated service but provides a benefit by providing food and nutrition support to the community. Should the grant cease, on-going contributions should not be required. This is the first time the grant has been awarded to MCDPH and it is unknown if it will be awarded again. The grant is competitive and fifteen other organizations were awarded funds this year. MCDPH indirect rate for FY24 is 15.65%. This grant deviates from County Policy A2505 and does not allow for full indirect cost reimbursement, but a maximum of 0.00%. The full indirect costs are estimated at $1,565.00 of which $0.00 is recoverable and $1,565.00 is unrecoverable. Program costs not covered by the grant will be subsidized by the MCDPH indirect cost pool. Departmental indirect rates are re-established 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 funds is not prohibited by the budget law. Approval of this action does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. (C-86-24-071-X-00)
