STATE COMPLIANCE CRITERIA
The following administrative and financial guidelines apply to the Kansas Small Cities CDBG-CV program:
1. Timeliness: Grantees will have a signed contract with the state within 30 days of award announcement.
Project implementation will be initiated within 60 days of the award announcement. All projects must be
scheduled to be completed within 12 months of the project award date. If you have CDBG Local
Revolv-ing Loan Funds, you will have 90 days from award to reduce your balance to under $10,000 or
lose the new business grant money.
2. Administration Allowance: For the purpose of budgeting, applicants may not propose more than $15,000
or 10 percent, whichever is less. CDBG-CV will not replace any existing employee’
s salaries for
administration.
NOTE: No city or county employee, elected or employed, can separately contract with the grantee to
perform any portion of the grant either through an outside firm or directly.
Commerce will release 25 percent administration funds after receipt of the grantee’s signed state grant
agreement, 50 percent after first drawdown of funds, 75 percent after 50 percent has been drawn and
90 percent administrative costs prior to receipt of close-out paperwork and clearance of monitoring
findings. For grantees providing administration funds out of local monies, a five percent retainage will be
held on the total grant monies until the final paperwork is received and all monitoring findings are cleared.
3. Professional Assistance: The use of professional services is governed by the provision of OMB Circular
A-87 and applicable state, federal and local laws. The selection of services must be done according
to CDBG procurement regulations if grant funds will be used for payment. Written agreements shall be

executed between the parties detailing the responsibilities, standards and fees.
4. Environmental Impact: All CDBG-CV projects are subject to the Federal Environmental Regulations.
5. CDBG-CV Policy when Applicant Discovers Error after Award Announcement:
a. In the CDBG-CV application process, unless the State has made a calculation or procedural error,
there is no provision to correct applicant error after grant award announcements. The State would be
in violation of its own Program Requirements if any application were reconsidered.
b. In all cases, it is the applicant’s responsibility to proofread and double-check the accuracy of the
information submitted in the application.
c. The mayor/county commission chairman (chief elected official) accepts the responsibility that the
information in the application is correct by signing the grant application submitted.
6. Kansas Small Cities CDBG-CV Administrative Procedure for Request for Information:
a. Kansas Open Records Law
(1) All requests for information from the Small Cities (CDBG-R) program will be subject to the Kansas
Open Records Law (K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 45-206 et. seq.). The Kansas law requires that all
records of a public agency be open to inspection. Kansas Small Cities (CDBG-CV) applications
are, as defined by K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 45-207, public records and as such are open for inspec-
tion, except as otherwise provided by the Act. All requests must be specifically made in writing.
(2) Copies of file information will not be made due to cost of copying, staff time and constraints.
(3) File information, such as grant applications, may be reviewed in the office during normal working
hours.
(4) File information, such as grant applications, may be obtained for private off-site photocopying by
use of a “sign out” sheet during normal working hours. Master copy applications may not be
“signed out” and must be reviewed only in the office.
(5) Consensus rating information will be made available under the above procedures. Individual
staff notes are not a part of the body of “public information” and, therefore, will not be made
available [K.S.A. 45-211(a)(20)].
