Identify the total expended by subrecipient for each Title III-related activity in state fiscal year.10 Note: If no funds were expended by the sub-recipient in state fiscal year 2000 for the activities related to Title III, the State shall maintain a record of such determination. VIII. Satisfaction of MOE by SubRecipients jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES As the grant recipient, the State is ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance with the MOE, including compliance by sub-recipients. The MOE requirement is applicable to subrecipients in each fiscal year in which the sub-recipient expends Title II Requirements Payments. If no Requirements Payments are used in a fiscal year, there is no applicable MOE requirement for that year. The State may determine compliance with the MOE requirements by its sub-recipients in either of two manners: 1. The State may hold each subrecipient individually responsible for meeting an applicable MOE requirement by determining the sub-recipient expends the same or greater local funds than the sub-recipient’s base level of expenditure 11 on either: a. All election administration activities.12 Or b. Each HAVA activity (or activities) on which the sub-recipient expends funds as the corresponding base year activity (or activities).13 Or 2. The State may assume responsibility for meeting the MOE fiscal year 2000 to establish the base level of expenditure. It is not necessary to break out activities related to Title III. 10 With this method, a sub-recipient needs to identify separately the amount spent on any of the following activities in state fiscal year 2000: Voting equipment, voter registration database, ID requirements, provisional voting, and voter information. 11 In this method, the sub-recipient county or local unit of government would be responsible for the applicable MOE for any Requirements Payments expended in a given fiscal year. 12 If the total local dollars expended by the subrecipient on election-related activities for a given fiscal year are the same or greater than the total base level, the sub-recipient will have met the MOE requirement for that year. 13 The sub-recipient, for example, would need to document that the sub-recipient expended in a given fiscal year the same or more on each activity on which Requirements Payments are expended than the amount spent in each allowable area in state fiscal year 2000: Voting equipment, voter registration database, ID requirements, provisional voting, and voter information. If the sub-recipient does not spend any Requirements Payments on an activity (say, voting equipment) in a particular fiscal year, then the MOE requirement for that activity (voting equipment) would not apply.
