44. GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY RECYCLING PROGRAM Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Recycling Program in the amount of $200,000 for Maricopa County Household Hazardous Waste and Community Clean up Projects and $52,637 to fund a School Waste Education Outreach Program. The grant applications are requesting funds to help support Household Hazardous Waste Collections and Community Clean ups in 2-4 rural or unincorporated communities and to support 7-8 rural or unincorporated schools with waste education and information programs. Authorize the Solid Waste Director to sign all documents related to these grant funds. The term of the grants is from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. These grants are non-renewable. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated MCSWM’s indirect cost rate at 7.8% (based on landfills) for FY2010. These Grants do not allow for indirect costs, therefore the unrecoverable indirect cost of administering these grants is estimated to be $15,600 and $4,106 respectively. 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. The approval of this action requested does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. Arizona Department of Environmental Quality’s Recycling Program may grant Maricopa County Solid Waste Management $200,000.00 and $52,637.00 to fund Household Hazardous Waste and Community Clean up Projects and a School Waste Education Outreach Program. The Household Hazardous Waste Grant requires a monetary match of $61,516 to be met through the Solid Waste Fund and $19,409 of in-kind services. The School Waste Education Outreach Program Grant requires a monetary match of $16,517 to be met through the Solid Waste Fund and $24,690 of in-kind services. Supervisory District No(s).: Countywide.
