Section 1001.30  Grant Amounts and Allocations

Grant amounts and allocations shall be made as provided in this Section.

a)         When the appropriation or other funding source specifies a specific amount for a recipient or recipients, the grant amount shall be the sum specified by the appropriation or other funding source.

b)         When the appropriation appears to leave discretion in the allocation of grant funds to the Board, the Board will determine the intent of the Governor and the General Assembly in passing the legislation and will allocate grants accordingly.  If that intent cannot be determined, the Board will determine eligibility for the grants in accordance with the stated purpose of the grant as specified by the appropriation or other funding source.  The Board will notify all potentially eligible recipients prior to making grants.

c)         Determination of Grant Amount

1)         In those cases in which the appropriation or other funding source specifies a specific amount for a class of recipients, the grant amounts shall be determined by the method specified by the appropriation or other funding source.

2)         If no method is specified, the grant funds shall be allocated equally among all eligible recipients in the class.

3)         All recipients shall sign a Grant Agreement.
