| (a) The EA shall provide a summary of regional water
planning funding applications with recommendations for approval to
the Board for consideration at a regularly scheduled public meeting
of the Board. The EA shall notify the applicants of the time and place
of such meeting.
(b) Board Review. The Board may approve, deny, amend,
or continue consideration of an application. If the Board approves
the application for funding, then the RWPG's political subdivision
will be notified of the amount of funds available and the deadline
for executing a contract with the Board. If the applicant does not
enter into a contract by the specified deadline, then the Board's
approval expires and no funds will be provided. The political subdivision
may request an extension of time for good cause shown prior to the
contract execution deadline.
(c) Eligible Applicant's Responsibility. The RWPG's
political subdivision must demonstrate the availability of matching
funds when applicable. However, the Board may in its discretion award
up to 100% of the necessary and direct costs of the development or
revision of a regional water plan.
(d) The contracts and subcontracts for regional planning
funds shall include:
(1) a detailed statement of the purpose for which the
money is to be used;
(2) a scope of work provided by the EA or a scope of
work developed by the RWPG if requested by the EA;
(3) the total amount of money to be paid from the research
and planning fund under the contract and, as determined by the EA,
subdivided into task budgets;
(4) the time for completion; and
(5) any other terms and conditions required by the
EA or agreed to by the contracting parties.
