DESCRIPTION
The County routinely applies for grant funding through a variety of federal, state and other sources to increase and enhance the services the County provides to its citizens. Comprehensive oversight of grant applications, approvals, awards and agreements is needed to effectively manage grant funding and ensure compliance with all applicable grant requirements and regulations.
The proposed Resolution establishes guidelines for the County to apply for grant funding and submit grant applications, including delegating authority to the County Manager, Deputy County Managers, the County’s Grant Manager, and the County’s various Division Directors to execute grant applications. The Resolution further recognizes that certain grant awards may be approved as an annual allocation or upon obligation, based on the terms of the particular grant. Finally, the Resolution provides that the County Manager is authorized to execute certain grant agreements, consistent with Resolution 16-007.
