Substantially all of the city’s grants are awarded on a reimbursement basis. As such, program costs will be <br />expended and disbursed prior to requesting reimbursement from the grantor agency. <br /> <br />2. Cash draws will be initiated by the Finance Director or Public Works Director who will determine the <br />appropriate draw amount. Documentation of how this amount was determined will be retained and <br />signed/dated. <br /> <br />3. The physical draw of cash will be processed through SWIFT (Minnesota’s State-wide Integrated Financial Tools <br />payment system) or through the means prescribed in the grant agreement. <br /> <br />4. Supporting documentation from SWIFT or a copy of the cash draw paperwork will be filed along with the <br />approved paperwork described above and retained for audit purposes. <br /> <br />Eligibility <br />Source of Governing Requirements – The requirements for eligibility are contained in program legislation, Federal <br />awarding agency regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award. <br /> <br />1.

All equipment will be used in the program for which it was acquired or, when appropriate and allowable, other <br />Federal programs. <br /> <br />2. When required, purchases of equipment will be pre-approved by the grantor or pass-through agency.

Equipment records will be maintained and an appropriate system shall be used to safeguard equipment, as <br />described in the city’s separate Capital Asset policy. Equipment should be assigned to a program and <br />physical location on the inventory. If such equipment is moved, it will be noted and adjusted in the city’s <br />capital assets records.
