structured multi-step process to monitor the use of grant funds and ensure they are spent in accordance with approved purposes. Applicants submit proposals through an online grant portal during a defined application window. Eligible applications are reviewed and scored by Board and Council members who evaluate merit and eligibility and vote on which projects to fund; members with a conflict of interest recuse themselves and all decisions are documented and signed at the approval meeting. Approved projects are then formally authorized at a quarterly council meeting and written grant agreements are issued in September outlining the approved scope budget and grant period. The project period runs from October 1 through June 30 during which grantees must complete activities consistent with their approved application. If a project is not completed by March the grantee must submit a mid-year project check-in form so staff can review progress and address any issues. To close out a grant and receive reimbursement up to the approved amount grantees must submit a final report by June 30 that includes invoices proof of payment photos a video documenting the project and a completed narrative or reporting form. Staff review these materials to confirm that costs are allowable properly documented and within the approved budget and that project activities and deliverables are consistent with the grant agreement; only after this review is a reimbursement check issued.
