<br />While no cost-share participation is required, the Program attempts to maximize
<br />available funds by giving priority to cost-sharing partnerships. Cost-sharing
<br />improves program performance by increasing the investment of recipients in the
<br />success of projects. Cost-sharing can be a contribution of funds, in-kind staff time,
<br />and/or equipment. Generally, it is expected that project sponsors will assume the
<br />responsibility to operate and maintain project features to insure continuing benefits.
<br />The Program has benefited from over $1.1 million in additional project benefits by
<br />means of cost-share contributions from project sponsors. See Appendix A.
<br />PROGRAM PERFORMANCE
<br />Thirty-five (35) mitigation projects were completed during the first 5 years of
<br />Program operations. Over $1.5 million was appropriated to the Program during
<br />1994-1998. Of this amount, 94.7 percent, or over $1.43 million, was expended on
<br />eligible projects during the report period. See Table 1. All funds support mitigation
<br />and conservation projects; no administration, overhead or operating expenses are
<br />paid from Program funds.
