TOTAL GRANT BUDGET
$40,450
As indicated above, most of the grant funds will be applied towards personnel costs. However, the grant specifically provides funding for travel for staff to attend the statewide conference and other travel needs. The grant also identifies $2,000 to be used for plan evaluation of the district plan. The Planning Department intends to enter into a contract to conduct the evaluation.
The grant requires a local match of a minimum of 50% of the grant amount, or in this case, $20,225. The FY2005 approved budget includes funding to meet this match requirement.
The grant is for operational costs during fiscal year 2004/2005. Therefore, a shortened hearing date has been requested to make the grant funds available in a timely manner.
