127. IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) CTR080943 between Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Maricopa County, by and through its Public Health Department (MCDPH) for the Health People Healthy Communities (HPHC) Program. The IGA was issued by ADHS on July 28, 2026. The total not-to-exceed amount of the IGA is $2,994,529 for the budget period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The IGA term is July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. This funding supports several programs, including the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program, Health in Arizona Policy Initiative (HAPI), funding for individuals with maternal health needs, and the Suicide Mortality Review (SMR). This award is recurring and non-competitive and has been awarded to the department in the past. There is no cash or in-kind match required. These services are not mandated but provide a benefit to the community by delivering interventions for healthy communities with policy, systems and environmental approaches designed to better community health and wellness. The individual price sheet not-to-exceed amounts are: Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program: $2,156,438 Health in Arizona Policy Initiative: $402,256 Mental Health First Aid & funding for maternal health: $235,835 Suicide Mortality Review: $200,000 This grant deviates from County policy A2505 and does not allow for full indirect cost reimbursement, but a maximum of 15% as permitted in agreement. MCDPH’s indirect rate for FY27 is 20.24%. Total indirect expenses based on full award are estimated to be $527,037.10, of which $390,590.74 is recoverable and $136,446.36 is not recoverable; and, if necessary, will be absorbed by 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 Agreement 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 ADHS and will not affect the County general fund. (C-86-27-002-X-00)
