Item Text

25. EXCEPTION TO THE POLICY FOR ADMINISTERING GRANTS 1) Approve an exception to the Policy for Administering Grants (A2505) Section D(1) to Justice System Planning & Information (JSPI) that would allow applications to be submitted for criminal justice related grants that may or may not allow indirect cost recovery and that may or may not have match requirements. Approval of this item authorizes submittal of applications only and does not commit either JSPI or Maricopa County to accept funding. 2) Authorize the JSPI Director and/or the Chairman, if needed, to sign all applications, resolutions, certifications, assurances, etc. that are included in the grant application process. JSPI will return to the Board of Supervisors for approval to accept any specific awards and corresponding agreements as required. Requests to accept awards or enter into agreements that are subsequent to this agenda will be presented as unique agenda items with separate tracking numbers, as required. The JSPI indirect cost rate for FY 2016 is 17.4% of personnel and related costs. Approval of this item will enable JSPI to apply for grant funding when notices of funding opportunities or calls for grant applications are issued. Notices of grant applications and corresponding deadlines do not often correlate with the Board of Supervisors agenda approval process. (C-95-16-007-G-00)
