Idaho Admin. Code r. 60.05.01.200

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 60.05.01.200 - ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO DISTRICTS
01.Base Funding. The Commission will determine the dollar amount to allocate equally to conservation districts on an annual basis. As soon as practicable after the start of the fiscal year, the Commission will immediately distribute base funding to the districts that submitted the required documents during the previous fiscal year.
02.Match Funding. Following determination of base funding, the Commission will review and approve the additional amount of state appropriations available for proportional allocation to each district in match funding. The amount of match funding allocated will be based upon local funds and services received in the previous fiscal year by each conservation district for the general purposes of the district. Funds received for special projects, used as required match for specific grants or projects, or on a fee-for-service basis will not be used to calculate match funding. Once the required documents for match funding are submitted and determined to be complete, the Commission will distribute match funding to each district as soon as practicable.
03.Required Documents. The Commission may require submission of certain documents prior to allocation of base and match funding to districts. These documents may include five (5) year plans, financial and match reports, and performance reports.
a. The Board of Supervisors shall certify in writing that the district has examined all documentation submitted and that the statements and representations in the documents are true and accurate.
b. The district shall submit any required documents by a date established by the Commission.
04.State Budget Requests. The Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider the needs of the conservation districts on or before June 15th of each year, giving twenty (20) days' written notice of the hearing to each conservation district and to all other persons requesting notice of the hearing. The Commission will hear and consider testimony at the hearing and all information submitted by the districts prior to submission of the annual budget request to the legislature and governor based upon the criteria of Subsection 010.19 of this rule.
