Revised Applications, Guidelines & Scoring Sheets for Orange County's Business 31 Investment Grant &Agriculture Economic Development Grant 32 The Board considered approving revised draft Applications, Guidelines & Scoring Sheets for 33 each of two grant programs — Business Investment Grant & Agriculture Economic Development 34 Grant—which are funded by Article 46 one quarter cent sales tax proceeds to support 35 economic development. 36 Commissioner Price asked if the applications will specify that the amount has to be 37 rounded to whole numbers. 38 Steve Brantley said the wording states that the smaller grant is up to $1,000 for 39 agriculture and up to $1,500 for businesses. 40 Commissioner Price said the small grants are listed as up to $1,000, and large grants as 41 between $1,001 and $10,000. She said people could use the 99 cents gap to work around the 42 system. 43 Steve Brantley said their advisory board can be more specific in order to address this. 44 He said he will bring this to their attention. 45 Chair McKee suggested the wording of"small grants of amounts below$1,000, and 46 large grants from $1,000 to $10,000." 47 Commissioner Price referred to item #9 and the request for grant recipients to provide 48 an accounting of how all funds are used within 180 days of receipt. She asked if this is saying 49 that the recipient must have spent all of the money in that time frame, or if this just means an 50 accounting needs to be provided for what has been used up to that point.
