| Explanation | WE'VE ESTABLISHED INTERNAL CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES TO TRACK EXPENDITURES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE OVERALL GRANT. THE SUBGRANT AMOUNTS ARE HELD IN A GRANT GL ACCOUNT AND ARE MONITORED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE CONTRACT NUMBERS. EACH SUBRECIPIENT HAS RECEIVED THEIR OWN CONTRACT NUMBER WHERE WE TRACK THEIR EXPENSES. ONCE A MONTH, WE RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS FROM THE SUB-RECIPIENTS WHERE THEY INCLUDE AN OVERALL REPORT OF ALL GRANT ACTIVITIES AND ALL BACKUP DOCUMENTATION FOR THEIR EXPENSES. EY, A THIRD-PARTY CONSULTANT, REVIEWS THESE REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS, AS WELL AS COMPLIANCE WITH OUR GRANT AWARD CONDITIONS AND GRANT ADMINISTRATION PLAN. THE REIMBURSEMENT PACKETS ARE THEN REVIEWED BY INTERNAL STAFF AND APPROVED TO BE SENT TO THE EDA. ALL BACKUP DOCUMENTATION IS SENT TO THE EDA FOR REVIEW, APPROVAL AND REIMBURSEMENT. ONCE A MONTH, A REPORT IS COMPLETED REFLECTING THE ACTIVITY AND EXPENSES TO DATE BASED ON THE ACTIVITIES OUTLINED IN THEIR GRANT AGREEMENTS. THIS REPORT IS INTERNALLY DISTRIBUTED TO COMMUNICATE THE PROGRESS AND EXPENSES OF THE GRANT. ADDITIONAL REPORTS, AS REQUIRED BY OUR GRANT, ARE SUBMITTED EITHER ANNUALLY OR SEMI-ANNUALLY TO THE EDA. THESE REPORTS RANGE FROM A NARRATIVE REPORT THAT REFLECTS PROGRESS TO DATE, SURVEYS AS REQUIRED BY THE GRANT, AND FINANCIAL REPORTS. TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND ENHANCE OUR GRANT MONITORING EFFORTS, A MONTHLY CALL IS HELD WHERE THE SUBRECIPIENTS AND THEIR STAFF JOIN TO RECEIVE UPDATES, ASSISTANCE, OR INFORMATION REGARDING THE GRANT. ANY DISCREPANCIES OR ISSUES IDENTIFIED DURING MONITORING ARE ADDRESSED THROUGH CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS. CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ALL PARTIES AND THE FEDERAL AGENCY HELPS TO ENSURE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY THROUGHOUT THE MONITORING PROCESS, ULTIMATELY ENSURING THAT FUNDS ARE USED EFFICIENTLY AND FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSES. | ExplanationTxt |

TWENTY-FOUR ELECTED COMMISSIONERS, WHO ARE LIMITED TO AND REQUIRED TO REPRESENT ASSESSED BUSINESSES OR A TRADE ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING SUCH BUSINESSES, ARE ELECTED IN A REFERENDUM. ASSESSED BUSINESSES VOTE ONLY FOR ELECTED COMMISSIONERS REPRESENTING THEIR RESPECTIVE INDUSTRY CATEGORIES. REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF BALLOTS RECEIVED FOR A REFERENDUM, THE NOMINEE FOR EACH ELECTED COMMISSIONER POSITION WITH THE MOST WEIGHTED VOTES FROM ASSESSED BUSINESSES WITHIN THAT INDUSTRY CATEGORY IS ELECTED COMMISSIONER.

IF A COMMISSIONER HAS A COI, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES AND THE DECISION WOULD BE MADE BY THE REST OF THE VOTING MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY.
