<br />18. The recipient agrees that prior to the obligation or expenditure of any LLEBG funds, at least one (1) public hearing will <br />be held regarding the proposed use(s) of the grant funds. The recipient must also provide verification to BJA, via the <br />Internet system, of the public hearing. At the hearing, persons shall be given an opportunity to provide written and oral <br />views to the recipient on the proposed use(s) of the grant funds. The recipient will hold the public hearing at a time and <br />place that allows and encourages public attendance and participation. The recipient may not request a drawdown of <br />funds until these requirements are met and the formal budget allocations are adopted by the recipient. <br /> <br />19. The recipient agrees that prior to the obligation or expenditure of any LLEBG funds, a previously designated or newly <br />established advisory board will meet to discuss the proposed use(s) of the grant funds. The recipient will designate the <br />advisory board to make nonbinding recommendations on the use(s) of funds under the LLEBG Program. Membership <br />on the advisory board must include a representative from the following, though it may be broader: <br /> <br />a) the local police department or sheriffs department; <br /> <br />b) the local prosecutor's office; <br /> <br />c) the local court system; <br /> <br />d) the local school system; and, <br /> <br />e) a local nonprofit, educational, religious, or community group active in crime prevention or drug use prevention <br />or treatment. <br /> <br />The recipient may not request a drawdown of funds until these requirements are met and the formal budget allocations <br />are adopted by the recipient. <br /> <br />20. The recipient has certified it is not in compliance with the Public Safety Officers' Health Benefits Provision of the <br />Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2000 (Pub. L. <br />No. 106-113). Therefore, the recipient will receive not more than 90 percent of the eligible award amount(or, if less <br />than the eligible amount was requested, of that amount). This provision makes no allowances for a unit of local <br />government to come into compliance during the life of the grant; consequently BJA will not consider requests to adjust <br />the adjusted award amount. <br />[!I <br /> <br /> <br />3 of 3 10/20/00 1 :29 PM <br />
