<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />6. Other Considerations <br /> <br />a) Schedule- <br />No funded Water Conservation Plan Development project will be allowed to extend over more <br />than one calendar year from the date of the grant award. If data collection and system <br />characterization activities are needed by the planning entity to forward more effective water <br />conservation, then tasks for these efforts will need to be incorporated into the plan for <br />implementation. <br /> <br />b) Matching Funds- <br />Entities requesting funding under this program will need to have and/or demonstrate the ability to <br />provide 25% of the plan development budget with matching funds, either as cash or in-kind <br />services or through payment of consulting fees or any combination thereof. The Board will <br />consider applications with a reduced level of matching funds; however these applicants will need <br />to demonstrate financial hardship to be eligible for a Board waiver of the matching fund <br />requirement. <br /> <br />c) Matching Fund Reimbursement- <br />If funds are available, the Board will reimburse the planning entity with up to 50% of the <br />matching funds used on a single project if the planning entity utilizes the Model Plan format and <br />content developed and promoted by the Office in preparation of its Water Conservation Plan, and <br />the plan developed is reviewed and approved by the Office. This does not apply to in-kind <br />contributions. <br /> <br />d) Payment - The CWCB will make between I and 4 payments during the term of the project <br />from the Water Conservation Plan Development Fund to the planning entity that has been <br />awarded funds, as requested by each applicant in its application. The individual payments do not <br />need to be equal. All payments will be based on invoices for work already completed. The final <br />payment will be at least 15% of the total grant award, which will not be released until full <br />completion of the planning grant or the project grant and upon preparation and approval of a final <br />plan. <br /> <br />6 <br />
