2024 SCORE Agreement <br />3 <br /> <br />Guidelines for fulfilling the Municipality’s obligations for this incentive are included in the <br />Recycling Performance Work Plan as described below in 1(b). <br /> <br /> <br />b. Recycling Performance Work Plan <br /> <br />During 2024, the Municipality shall implement the strategies on the Recycling Performance <br />Work Plan, specific to the Municipality, attached as Exhibit 1, to measure its progress towards <br />achieving recycling goals. Work plans may be updated if agreed to by both parties in writing. <br /> <br />c. Reimbursement <br /> <br />1. Expenses eligible for reimbursement must be in accordance with the established eligible <br />expenses. Funds not spent by the Municipality during the budget year will be retained by <br />the County. Unspent funds may be used by the County for SCORE-eligible expenditures as <br />determined by the County. If applicable, the Municipality shall use the SCORE funds as <br />specified by the Joint Powers Agreement for Recycling Funding dated July 1, 2019. <br /> <br />2. The County shall reimburse the Municipality a maximum not to exceed sum of $1,298 in <br />base funding with $247 in incentive funding. Subject to the provisions of section 1(c)(5) <br />below, the Municipality shall receive two payments for base funds. A payment of 50% of the <br />total base funding award will be made within 35 days of receipt of an invoice, and in no case <br />prior to the first day of March. The second payment of 50% of the total base funding award <br />will be made within 35 days of receipt of an invoice, and in no case before the first day of <br />June. The Municipality may invoice for the entire incentive funding amount upon <br />completion of the incentive project by submitting an invoice and appropriate <br />documentation of expenses. <br /> <br />3. The Municipality shall not use grant funds for expenses, or a portion of expenses, which <br />have been or will be reimbursed by other parties, or for expenses that do not meet the <br />eligibility criteria outlined in the SCORE grant application. <br /> <br />4. The County's obligation under this Agreement is subject to the availability and provision of <br />funding from the State of Minnesota. The County may immediately cancel this Agreement <br />or reduce the reimbursement to the Municipality to the extent funds received from the <br />State are reduced or eliminated. The County is acting as fiscal agent for the Municipality and <br />in no event shall be obligated to reimburse the Municipality in an amount in excess of that <br />actually received from the State. <br /> <br />5. The County may deny reimbursement to the Municipality, or seek recovery of payments <br />disbursed to the Municipality, if the Municipality is unable to verify that recycling collection <br />service is provided at each place of residence, including multi-unit dwellings and <br />manufactured home parks. The amount that the County may deny or seek recovery of, is <br />that portion of the grant amount equivalent to the proportion of households not provided <br />recycling collection service. <br /> <br />d.
