This amount was reached based on the funding <br />formula, available funds and actual expenses in 2003, along with the budget information you provided. <br /> <br /> Enclosed is the 'Notice of Grant Award' with the scope of services, reporting requirements, special <br />conditions, and remarks that pertain to the grant. Also enclosed is a 'Budget Approval' form with a breakdown <br />of your allocation. The EMPG funds can only be used to provide direct match funding assistance for the county <br />emergency management pro,ram and must be matched on a 50-50 basis with non-federal cash resources. <br /> <br /> Also enclosed is a 'Requirements for Grant Awards' document. This document contains the conditions <br />applicable to funding received through Grant Awards issued by the North Dakota Division of Emergency <br />Management. <br /> <br /> If quarterly financial and progress reports are not submitted on time we reserve the right to withdraw <br />funding for that quarter. A 'Quarterly Financial Report Form' and 'Quarterly Financial Report Detail by <br />Category' sheet are enclosed for financial reporting purposes. Your emergency manager has been provided with <br />quarterly progress report forms. <br /> <br /> Changes to the grant allocation need to be pre-approved. A 'Project Change Request' form (enclosed) <br />will need to be submitted along with a narrative explaining the need for the change. If funding is available and <br />the program allows, we will make every effort to accommodate your request. <br /> <br /> For counties that have signed up for the Automated Clearing House (ACH), the Division of Emergency <br />Management will process your payments electronically, provide you with a copy of the quarterly report and the <br />date the funds were transferred to your account. If your county has not yet signed up for the ACH and would <br />like to do so, please contact Ross Mushik at 1-800-773-3259 for the form necessary to start the process. <br /> <br /> If you wish to accept this grant award please sign and return the Notice of Grant Award, Budget <br />Approval, and Requirements for Grant Awards.
