THE FOLLOWING ATTACHMENT E-1 THROUGH E-8 FORMS, IN
ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF ITEMS 10 THROUGH
13 OF THE APPLICATION CHECKLIST, CONSTITUTE YOUR
FORMAL APPLICATION.
SUBMIT THE APPLICATION INFORMATION IN THE ORDER
LISTED ON THE CHECKLIST.
An electronic copy(pdq may be emailed to-jZimmerman c&aicw.org.
or a completed hardcopy of the application may be delivered to:
FIND,1314 Marcinski Rd., Jupiter,FL 33477
Application must be received by the deadline,no exceptions.
ATTACHMENT E -APPLICANT TIPS SHEET
(Mistakes Common to the application process and how to avoid them)
Scheduling — The new application is available by the 2nd week of January each year, and District funding is
available AFTER October 11t of each year. Applicants should plan their schedule to avoid commonly missed
deadlines: Application due — 30`' of March; Property Control — 25th of May, Permits — 19th of September. (Staff
suggestion:Begin to secure property control and permits PRIOR to applying for funding.)
Property Control Verification—Please have your attorney complete and sign the form in the application verifying
applicant property control. Support documentation is not necessary. In the case of leases or management
agreements, please forward a copy to the District well in advance of the deadline to verify consistency with our
program rules. (Staff suggestion:Resolve this requirement outside the application `ivindow".)
Project Costs Eligibility — Please note the eligible project costs in Rule Section 66B-2.008, F.A.C. If you are not
sure about an item's eligibility, ask! Note: Any ineligible cost, including in-house project management and
administration, is also not eligible for an applicant's match. Make sure you have delineated your required minimum
cost-share on the project cost estimate. (Staff suggestion: Ifyou have questions about the eligibility of an item, work up a mock
cost-sheet and send it to our office well before the deadline. Do not include 4.P&ant pr ject management in your cost estimate).
Cost-Share — Although the applicant must provide a minimum of 50% of the total project costs (25% for eligible
public navigation dredging), there is no specific requirement to split each item. (Staff suggestion: You may want to
organise project element in a certain manner for easier accounting.)
Pre-Agreement Expenses - Rule 66B-2.005(3), F.A.C. requires any activity in the submitted project cost estimate
occurring PRIOR to October 1S,to be considered as pre-agreement expenses. The Board's past philosophy has
been to fund only those projects that require District funding assistance to be completed. It is best to avoid pre-
agreement expenses if possible, or limit them to a small percentage of the project. Note, that pre-agreement
expenses must be limited to 50% or less of the total project costs, and they are eligible for only 1/2 of the original
District funding. (Example:A project with a total cost of$'200,000 is Board-approved for one-half construction PRIOR to October
1". In this case, District funding will be limited as follows: Only 50% of the $100,000 pr ject cost prior to October V is eligible as
project expenses (i.e. 50,000). Then only %2 of the eligible project expenses ($50,000) are eligible for District funding assistance (i.e.
,$25,000).
Submitted Materials &June Presentation —The Board must review and evaluate every application and each year
we receive about 90 applications for consideration. The final product for the Commissioner's review is two 8-1/2"
x 11" spiral-bound notebooks containing the essential information for the application. NOTE: make sure your
final submitted material is the same material you will be presenting to the Board at our June meeting.This
will avoid confusion and strengthen your presentation. (Staff suggestion: Limit the submitted materials to the requested
information, in the required format and make sure it is consistent with your June presentation. Do not submit additional material at the
June presentation!Don't create unnecessary work foryourself.)
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS — Grant applications are being accepted by email or hardcopy. Grant
applications may be submitted via email as a pdf attachment (permits attached separately). Make sure to label your
pdf attachment with the applicant and project title. You will receive a confirmation email letting you know your
application has been received. Email your completed application to JZimmerman agaicw.org
Or you may send hardcopy applications to FIND, 1314 Marcinski Rd,Jupiter,EL 33477.
