grant funds will be requested than what is available, meaning applicants may not receive their <br />full request. Grant awards will be encumbered to each municipality by this process: <br />o Half of the available grant funds will be divided equally among participants. <br />o The remaining half will be distributed to participants based on the size of their grant <br />request. <br />Municipalities will be informed of their total grant amount for the program year at the start of the <br />program year. <br />ES will send grant agreements to municipalities for signature and, upon return, will sign, and will <br />create purchase orders payable to the applicant municipality. <br />Signed agreements and application must be returned to ES prior to participation in the program. <br />Reporting Requirements and Reimbursement <br />Each quarter, municipalities will submit the PPII Reporting Form Excel workbook of work <br />completed, invoices, and certificates of completeness to certify the work for each grant was <br />done and records auditable. Only one grant per property may be awarded. <br />o ES has provided a list of verified Metropolitan Council Underutilized Business (MCUB) <br />contractors able to perform water and sewer work (attached). It is not required to use the <br />contractors on that list, but it is provided as an option. More information on the Met <br />Council MCUB program can be found here: https://metrocouncil.org/About-Us/What-We- <br />Do/DoingBusiness/Small-Business-Programs/mcub.aspx <br />ES will review the PPII Reporting Form Excel workbook and supporting documentation and <br />issue grant reimbursement. Municipalities have until March 31 of the following year to submit all <br />paperwork for work performed during the program year. <br />Any funds encumbered to a municipality and not spent during the program year will remain in <br />ES's PayGo fund. <br />The Council reserves the right to change these guidelines if, in its sole discretion, the results of <br />the process do not equitably allocate the funds. <br />Equity Component <br />Thrive MSP 2040 is the Met Council's vision for the region through the year 2040. It reflects concerns, <br />needs, and aspirations for the region and addresses our responsibility to future generations. Thrive <br />MSP 2040 has five outcomes that reinforce and support each other to produce greater benefits for the <br />region. Those outcomes are Stewardship, Prosperity, Equity, Livability, and Sustainability. <br />Thrive MSP 2040 provides the following definition of equity: "Equity connects all residents to <br />opportunity and creates viable housing, transportation, and recreation options for people of all races, <br />ethnicities, incomes, and abilities so that all communities share the opportunities and challenges of <br />growth and change. For our region to reach its full economic potential, all of our residents must be able <br />to access opportunity. Our region is stronger when all people live in communities that provide them <br />access to opportunities for success, prosperity and quality of life." (Metropolitan Council, 2014). <br />The equity component of allowing grant reimbursement up to a $10,000 cap for private property owners <br />meeting a municipality's equity criterion is one way equity is incorporated into this program. It is <br />acknowledged that each municipality has different equity considerations and knows the needs of their <br />residents the best; therefore, it is up to the municipality to determine if a resident has an equity need <br />and up to the municipality to determine the resident's final grant award, up to $10,000. <br />If a repair is higher than the program cap of $10,000, options, among others, to cover that cost include <br />a municipality match, assessing the property for the remaining amount, or requesting payment from the <br />resident. The means of collection are up to each municipality. Be advised, if grant awards are paid <br />directly to the private property owner, it is recommended to speak with a tax professional, as the <br />municipality may have to provide a 1099 tax form. <br />Page - 2 1 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br />
