Section 1555 - Notification of Application Status

(1) For those applications which have been approved and funded, the Director shall notify the applicant that he/she has been awarded a grant for the project. The Director shall forward to the applicant a proposed grant agreement indicating that the final agreement is to be developed through negotiations to represent the interests of both parties and that the funds will be encumbered when a final agreement has been reached. The applicant may then either withdraw its application or complete the negotiations and execute a grant agreement. When the grant agreement is executed, the Director will make the grant funds available to the recipient in the manner and at the times specified in the agreement.

(2) For those applications which have been approved but for which there are no existing funds, the Director shall notify the applicant that he/she will be awarded a grant if funds become available during the fiscal year. If no funds become available during the fiscal year, the Director shall notify the applicant of this and shall encourage him/her to apply for funds during the next period in which the Director requests proposals for urban forestry projects.

(3) For those applications which have not been approved, the Director shall notify the applicant that the application is not high enough on the priority list to receive a grant during this period and shall encourage him/her to apply for funds during the next period in which the Director requests proposals for urban forestry projects.
