Rule 28-1010 - FUNDING POLICIES

1010.1

Applicants for Law Enforcement Assistance Administration ("LEAA") Part C and Part E block grant funds shall apply on an annual basis and shall be eligible for up to a total of thirty-six (36) months of LEAA support.

1010.2

Continuation funding for LEAA Part C and Part E funded projects after the initial grant award shall be considered based upon the priorities of that year's approved Comprehensive Criminal Justice Plan and upon the demonstrated progress of the project.

1010.3

Projects funded from Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention funds may be eligible for twelve (12) month, twenty-four (24) month, or thirty-six (36) month awards. The duration shall be stipulated at the time of the initial funding decision and shall be contingent upon a satisfactory review of project performance at twelve (12) month intervals.

1010.4

Grant recipients that have unobligated funds at the end of their grant award periods shall have those funds credited against their continuation awards if continuation funding is requested and approved by the Board.

1010.5

Grant recipients not requesting continuation funding that have unobligated balances at the end of the grant award period shall return those funds to OCJPA except in the following circumstances:

(a) If unobligated funds exist at the end of the total thirty-six (36) month eligibility, and the amount does not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000), the applicant may request that OCJPA approve a grant extension for a sufficient period of time to ensure expenditure of those remaining monies;

(b) If unobligated funds exist at the end of the thirty-six (36) month eligibility, and the amount exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000), the Criminal Justice Supervisory Board at its discretion, upon request of the grantee, may extend the grant for whatever time period deemed appropriate by the Board; and

(c) In neither case shall the extension involve the award of any additional LEAA funds.

1010.6

Each grant recipient shall be required to provide matching funds equal to ten percent (10%) of total project cost in the first year, twenty-five percent (25%) of total project cost in the second year (if the project is refunded), and fifty percent (50%) of total project cost in the third year (if the project is refunded).

1010.7

Private agencies receiving Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention funds may satisfy all matching requirements by the provision of soft match contributions.

1010.8

Private non-profit agencies receiving Part C or Part E block grant funds shall be required to provide at least ten percent (10%) of total project cost in each year in the form of hard (cash) match. Private agencies receiving Part C or Part E funds may satisfy the remaining match obligation during the second or third project years by providing soft matching contributions.

1010.9

The Criminal Justice Supervisory Board may, at its discretion and by a two-thirds (2/3) vote, exempt any private agency or organization from the matching requirements; provided, that the total matching contributions for all block funds awarded during that fiscal year shall equal at least ten percent (10%) of total project cost in the aggregate.
