49. IGA WITH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH OFFICIALS FOR BUILDING LOCAL MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS UNITS Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) MRC25-2665 between National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH) to provide grant funding for building the capacity of local Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) units. The purpose of this grant is to provide support to MRC units and to encourage these units to provide certain information for the State of Arizona. The 2025 Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) ORA aims to build the operational readiness capabilities of MRC units to meet the emergency preparedness and response needs of their local, regional, or statewide stakeholders. The awards are intended to be flexible to meet the needs of all MRC units, support efforts to build MRC capabilities, strengthen stakeholder awareness of MRC capabilities, and identify or sustain integration of the MRC into local, state, and/or regional emergency response plans. The not-to-exceed amount is $10,000 and the term of the Agreement shall begin from the later date of signature (effective date) and shall continue until September 29, 2025. This grant has been awarded to MCDPH in the past, however, it is unknown if it will be awarded again. The grant was competitive and there is no cash or in-kind match required. This grant is not a mandated function but provides a valuable service to the community. The Department of Health’s indirect rate for FY25 is 15.79%. Indirect costs are estimated at $1363.68, all of which is fully recoverable. (C-86-25-058-X-00)
