As part of the grant award process, these are the steps you must follow: 1. Your local commission needs to meet and select a preferred vendor(s) to assist in your project. 2. Your local commission's chairperson must notify the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, (the Department) in writing, of your acceptance to the funds and the terms of the grant no later than March 31, 2009. You can send all correspondence to the attention of Mario A. Hernandez. The grant agreement you must complete is attached. 3. In the grant agreement, you need to include a brief description of the event/training, when and where the training will take place, the contract information for the contractor/vendor(s) providing the services and the contact information for your commission's "fiscal coordinator" (if you submitted a grant request you already selected a fiscal coordinator, please send the updated contact information). 4. The Department will contact the contractor/vendor(s) you selected. The Department will • process all contracts and payments directly with your contractor. In case any problems arise, you will receive communication from James Kirkpatrick, Deputy Commissioner for the Department, or his designee, explaining what problems exist with either the vendor or the services to be contracted. 5. Upon completion of the services and or training, your "fiscal coordinator" will certify that the training was held as contracted. The fiscal coordinator will include a list of the local commissioners who attended/participated in the training/event. If your project was a strategic planning session, please send a copy of your finished product. 6. Upon receipt of your fiscal coordinator's certification of training/event, and an invoice from the contractor/vendor, the Department will pay the contractor/vendor for services rendered. Note: In selecting acontractor/vendor, we recommend that you look at more than one possible contractor/vendor before making your selection. If your commission submitted more than one request during this first round of grants and the project was not selected, please re-apply at a later deadline for another round of mini- grants. Make sure you follow the guidelines for grant submission. We encourage you to consider joint projects with neighboring human rights commissions.
