86. IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR THE RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) CTR082903 for the Rural Health Transformation Program between Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH). The not-to-exceed amount is $58,093.00 for the budget period from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027. The IGA term is June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. This is the first time this grant has been awarded to Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH), and it is unknown if it will be awarded in the future. This award was non-competitive and there is no cash in-kind match required. This is not a mandated service but provides a benefit to the community through the promotion of healthy pregnancies and the prevention of congenital syphilis through screening and treatment. Should this grant end, ongoing cash contributions are not required. This grant deviates from County Policy A2505 and does not allow for any indirect cost reimbursement. MCDPH’s indirect rate for FY27 is 20.24%. Full indirect costs are estimated at $11,758.02, all of which are not recoverable. Program costs not covered by the grant 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 grant 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. (C-86-27-010-X-00) 87. IGA WITH ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS, ACTING FOR AND ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, FOR AN ACADEMIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT Approve the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Arizona Board of Regents, acting for and on behalf of The University of Arizona (UA), by and for its Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health (MEZCOPH), and Maricopa County, by and for its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), to develop an Academic Health Department. This agreement is non-financial and has a term of five (5) years from the effective date of the last party signature. The purpose of the Academic Health Department is to improve the preparedness of students to join the public health workforce and continue education for public health professionals.
