Grant Reporting Issues

• The next Quarterly Reports will be due for the April – June 2015 reporting period. All reports need to be submitted on time. On-time submission prevents the need for a letter to the Board of County Commission and State Auditor General audit criticism.

• Time Extensions and Change Requests are reviewed by the E911 Board on a quarterly basis unless there is an emergency need. Change requests are needed for scope changes, time extensions and utilization of interest. E911 Board approval should be obtained prior to implementation or use of funding. Next scheduled review is July 2015.

• Final Documentation (copy of invoices and payments [checks]) need to be submitted on time to prevent State Auditor General audit criticism.

• Delinquent grant documentation and report supplemental can affect the awarding of future grant application.

• The E911 Board requests that counties with pending grant applications or change requests attend the board meeting either in person or on the conference call to review any concerns or issues.
