OAR 695- 005- 0050(2). <br />We have revised the grant agreements based on advice from the Attorney General. You will <br />notice in the state and federal noncapital agreements that the requirement to comply with all <br />applicable state, federal and local laws (Section K of the agreement) has been expanded. The <br />purpose of that expansion is to be specific about the laws that may be applicable. There is NO <br />ADDITIONAL responsibility intended or specified from that language. The, requirements apply <br />only to the project funded by the grant. They do not impose additional requirements on your <br />organization in general or for matters unrelated to that project. <br />We are required by the federal government as a condition of the federal grant to have you certify <br />that the federal funds will not be used for lobbying. This is a new project completion report <br />requirement listed in Exhibit C as (4). <br />In this mailing you will find the Grant Billing Instruction Packet that includes the following (see <br />http:// www.oreRon.gov /OWEB /forms.shtml for additional forms and information): <br />1. One copy of the "Grantee's Request for Release of Funds." <br />You will be required to complete this form when requesting payments. Send ( this form to the <br />"Project Manager for the Board" listed in your grant agreement for approval. Please make <br />additional copies as needed. <br />Requests must be broken down by the Budget Categories listed in Exhibit A of the grant <br />agreement. When requesting payments it is important to remember that no additional payments <br />can be made unless the Board has received receipts for the full amount previously paid to you. <br />All grant expenses require actual invoices or receipts (Purchase Orders, Applications and <br />Statements are not acceptable). <br />
