§ 117.107. Availability of appropriations under grant programs.
(1)
Appropriations under grant programs shall be available for obligation and disbursement in accordance with the terms of the grant document and applicable state or federal regulations, but in no case before the beginning of the period stated in the appropriation ordinance as the fiscal period of the grant or after the close of such period, unless extended or renewed by the Council; provided, that if the grantor in writing extends the period of the grant program and authorizes the City to spend the grant funds during the extended period of time, without increasing the amount of grant funds already appropriated by the Council, the appropriations under that grant program shall be automatically extended for the additional period authorized by the grantor and the fiscal period of the grant program shall be automatically extended for a like period. Upon the termination of the fiscal period, the unobligated balances of such appropriations shall be available only to pay the expenses of terminating the grant program and winding up its affairs, subject to the approval of the Council, unless otherwise provided by the Council. Extensions or renewals of the grant program automatically or by the Council, involving as well extensions or renewals of the fiscal period of the program, shall be considered for the purposes of this Section as part of the original fiscal period. Documentation of the extension of a grant shall be provided to the Council Secretary and to the Council Auditor.
(2)
Grant funds may not be appropriated prior to receipt of the grant, except in the case of reimbursement grants. Reimbursement grant funds may not be included in any appropriation bill until a grant award letter has been received committing to the disbursement of such funds upon completion of the project.
(3)
To the extent that the City receives any funds from the State of Florida as reimbursement for costs incurred on street, drainage and road capital projects, such funds will be recorded as state-shared grant revenue appropriated to a lapsed fund balance account to be available to fund future street, drainage and road projects upon approval and re-appropriation by the council.
