25. GRANT FUNDS FROM THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION FOR FSPCA PREVENTIVE CONTROLS FOR HUMAN FOOD TRAINING Approve and accept a preventative control grant from the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), to attend a training course in the amount of $3786. The grant is funded by AFDO (award number G-T-1703-00369). The purpose of this grant is to receive training on Good Manufacturing Practices, necessary for the Environmental Services Chain Food, Institutional Care, and Food Production program. This program has two new supervisors who oversee inspections conducted at Food Production plants, Bottled Water plants, Ice Manufacturing plants, Microbreweries and Distilleries. Maricopa County Environmental Services plans to send the 2 supervisors to the 2017 Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventative Control for Human Food training at the Illinois Institute of Technology to obtain necessary job training for their program. The supervisors will then provide in-house training to their 9 field inspectors who are/will be conducting inspections in this program. The training objective is to gain necessary job skills for conducting inspections at processing plants and to share this knowledge with others. The grant is effective from November 7, 2017 until November 10, 2017. Maricopa County Department of Environmental Services’ indirect rate for FY 2017-18 is 33.1%. The grant does not allow for indirect costs, therefore indirect expense estimated at $1,253.16 is unrecoverable. Upon receipt of funds and pursuant to A.R.S 42-17106(B), approve an increase in revenue and expenditure authority in the Environmental Services Department (D880) Environmental Services Grants Fund (505) Operating (OPER) in an amount not to exceed $3,786 for FY 2018. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds are not prohibited by the budget law. (C-88-18-002-G-00)
