h. Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this Special Use
Permit by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors may be grounds for revocation in
accordance with the requirements and procedures as set forth in the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.

takes action to rescind approval due to noncompliance with conditions.
j. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant,

expiration of the Special Use Permit, the property may be considered for revocation to the
zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that
either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, or the expiration of the

divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the
property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation or expiration
of the Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit enhances the value of the property above

SUBARU LOVES PETS PROGRAM GRANT AGREEMENT AND BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT
Approve the application and acceptance of the Subaru Loves Pets Program grant funds from
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in the amount not-
to-exceed $4,000. The grant provides funding for a mandated service, which is to support
lifesaving objectives at the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. Authorize the Animal
Care and Control appointed authority, and/or designee, to accept the grant-related terms
and submit all grant reports applicable under the grant. The grant award begins upon
approval and ends on October 31, 2025. There is no grant award or signature required but
by endorsing and depositing the grant award check, or accepting the electronic grant award
deposit, the department agrees to the terms listed in the award agreement. In accordance
with A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the increase of revenue and expenditure authority in
the Animal Care and Control (D790) Animal Control Grants Fund (573) Non-Recurring Non-
Project (NRNP) appropriation group by $4,000 in Fiscal Year 2026.
The grant allows a 0% rate or $0 for indirect costs. The Maricopa County Department of
Finance has calculated the Fiscal Year 2026 indirect cost rate at 12.83% or $513.20. The
recoverable cost rates for administering this grant are $0 and Animal Care and Control will
absorb the non-recoverable indirect cost of $513.20 into the department’s operating budget
in the current fiscal year. This grant is non-recurring, and a cash or in-kind contribution is not
applicable. There are no future or ongoing contributions required following the grant period.
Funding for this agreement is provided by a grant from ASPCA and was competitively bid.
The grant cannot be used in any way that decreases the allocation or budget of governmental
funds for animal welfare purposes. This request will increase the grant budget appropriation
in the Animal Control Grants Fund (573) to accommodate revenues and expenditures
authorized by the grant. 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 does not alter the budget constraining the
expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105.

17.259) for performance period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The 3rd
year funding amount is $500,000 for the delivery of WIOA training activities.
The purpose of the Grant is to develop and deploy innovative WIOA pilot programs that
address gaps surrounding access to training that provide participants industry recognized
credentials upon completion. The Program targets service delivery toward populations in
Maricopa County most in need, namely Youth, Dislocated Worker, Veterans, those deficient
in basic-skills and receiving public assistance, in the communities of Gila Bend, Wickenburg,
Queen Creek, and closely surrounding areas.
The purpose of the 3rd year grant is to continue training programs in the identified
communities. Activities under this grant are administered by the Human Services
Department Workforce Development Division Arizona@Work Maricopa County. The
Program supports a training provider to deliver training in the identified areas.
As a current recipient of the Arizona Governor’s Office for Youth, Faith and Family,
Discretionary Fund Grant Program, the County received 3rd year funds through a non-
competitive process. The grant funds are a recurring award. Receipt of the grant funds does
not require future or ongoing contributions by the County at the end of the performance
period. The Program will leverage existing WIOA training resources to support participants
with wrap-around services for up to 12 months, post-completion of training. The County is
not required to provide cash or in-kind match.
The Human Services Department indirect rate of 24% by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services for FY2026 is for salaries and employee related expenses. The 3rd year
Grant amount is $500,000 of which no costs will be allocated for salaries and ERE. Indirect
costs will be absorbed by the Human Services Department budget. The awarded grant funds
will be passed through to training providers and are not subject to indirect cost recovery.
The services provided under this grant are not a mandated function but provide a benefit to
Maricopa County residents by providing career and training opportunities, assistance to job
seekers, youth, dislocated workers, veterans, and to employers that need to fill vacancies.
Program services help to establish a stronger workforce in the local area.

limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law.

adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. The overall budget will be adjusted as
necessary to accommodate the grant funding through a future reconciliation.

RECEIPT OF FUNDS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR THE
CHILD AND ADULT CARE FOOD PROGRAM
Approve the acceptance of funds from the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) Child
and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). CACFP funds are provided to Maricopa County
and administered by the Human Services Department Early Education Division, Maricopa
County Head Start Program. The Head Start Program submitted a funding application to
ADE for $977,042 for Program Year 2025, the period of October 1, 2024, through September
30, 2025. Maricopa County Head Start program is an annual reoccurring recipient of CACFP
funds from ADE with the submission of an application.
Also request authorization for the Human Services Department Director to sign all
documents related to acceptance of funds and any additional awards issued subsequently
up to the estimated funding amount, as noted in the Permanent Agreement with ADE fully
executed in October 26, 2013 (C-22-14-027-G-00) and as amended on August 20, 2025 (C-
22-14-027-G-14).
The Funds are utilized to provide meals and snacks that meet 1/3 to 2/3 of the daily nutritional
needs of the Head Start program participants. The Head Start program submits an annual
grant application to the Arizona Department of Education Child and Adult Care Food
Program, which is funded and administered at the federal level by the Food and Nutrition
Service, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). CACFP provides
federal funds to nonresidential child and adult care facilities, emergency shelters, eligible
after-school programs and family day care providers who serve nutritious meals and snacks.
In Arizona, the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) directly administers CACFP. The
goal of CACFP is to improve and maintain the health and nutritional status of children and
adults in care settings while promoting the development of good eating habits.
The Human Services Department indirect rate for FY2026, approved by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services is 24% for salaries and employee related expenses. The
awarded funds are $977,042 of which $0 is for salaries and ERE, therefore indirect costs are
$0 and are not subject to indirect cost recovery.
Annual Funding is reoccurring and does not require an in-kind or cash match or a
commitment after the end of the term. The services provided by the funds are not mandated
services but are a benefit to Head Start program participants by providing nutritious meals
and snacks.
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. The
grant funds do 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. The receipt of the funds
does not impact the County fund.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES GRANT FUNDING FOR
TOXICOLOGY TESTING
1. Pursuant to ARS 42-17106, approve the Year 3 Notice of Award of grant funds from
Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS). Grant funds were awarded to AZDHS
through Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Overdose Data to Action
States.
2. The initial Intergovernmental Agreement between AZDHS and Maricopa County was
approved under C-29-24-016-X-00, with a term of September 1, 2023, through August 31,
2028. The IGA includes an intended sub-recipient grant award allocation of $100,000
annually to Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner (OME) for toxicology testing in
opioid and stimulant overdose deaths. This amendment authorizes acceptance of $100,000
during the grant award period 9/1/2025 to 8/31/2026.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation and, therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget
law. The grant award may be awarded for a total of five years, with different award amounts
each year. OME previously received $100,000 in FY26. The department has no in-kind
match requirement or ongoing cash contributions during the grant award period.
The grant award is not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the citizens by providing
states and units of local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of
program areas including law enforcement, prosecution and court programs, prevention and
education programs, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and
enforcement, crime victim and witness initiatives, and planning, evaluation, and technology
improvement programs. The grant award is non-competitive. Any unallowable indirect costs
will be absorbed by the departments.
3. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0 which may be incurred by the Office of
Medical Examiner or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa
County Department of Finance has calculated the Office of Medical Examiner's composite
indirect cost rate at 17.91%, or $17,910.00. The recoverable indirect cost of administering
this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $17,910.00.
4.Pursuant to ARS §42-17106(B), direct the Office of Budget and Finance to increase the
Office of the Medical Examiner (D290) Medical Examiner Grant Fund (224) Operating
(OPER) FY 2026 Revised revenue and expenditure budget by $100,000 in FY 2026. 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. This budget
adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly
adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105.
5.Allow OME to sign non-financial documents associated with administration of this grant.

CDC on September 24, 2025. This is a partial NOA that brings the total funding for this
budget period up to the not-to-exceed amount of $2,321,118.00. The supplemental award
period began on August 01, 2025, and ends July 31, 2026. The original term of the grant
began on August 01, 2024, and ends July 31, 2029.
This grant deviates from County Policy A2505 and does not allow for full indirect cost
reimbursement, but a maximum of 10%. The full indirect costs are estimated at $109,581.38
of which $65,656.91 is recoverable and $43,924.47 is unrecoverable. Program costs not
covered by the grant will be subsidized by the MCDPH indirect cost pool.
This grant is competitive, and it is unknown whether the grant will be awarded again. It
should be noted that this grant award has not been awarded to Department of Public Health
in previous years. There is no in-kind match requirement, and the grant does not require on-
going cash contributions. The grant award is not a mandated function but provides a benefit
to citizens by preventing and controlling emerging infectious diseases.
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.
Approval of this action does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local
revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105.

This PROJECT will mitigate the Rawhide Wash alluvial fan flooding hazard west of
Scottsdale Road by capturing and conveying the 100-year flow in a new drainage channel
and appurtenant structures along the approximate Rawhide Wash alignment, west of
Scottsdale Road to the existing culvert system at State Route 101.
The PROJECT is the next downstream segment of the Rawhide Wash drainage solution and
was identified in the Pinnacle Peak West Area Drainage Master Study.
Construction cost increases have caused an overall PROJECT cost increase, those cost
increases being acceptable to the project partners. This Amendment No. 1 defines the
increased PROJECT COST and the associated project partner cost share amounts with the
cost share percentages remaining unchanged at 50% each. The current total PROJECT cost
is now estimated to be $68,000,000 due to construction cost increases.
