Distribution of the Remaining Community Partnership Matching Grant (TANF) Recovered Funds (B)
Explanation
The City of Gainesville received a $1,111,200 Community Partnership Matching Grant from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families. Previously, the State granted a no-cost extension for this grant to December 31, 2004. The State has recently certified that the remaining balance of grant funds is available to the City for TANF-eligible programs and activities occurring after June 30, 2004. The State of Florida Department of Children and Families has reimbursed the City for eligible expenditures in the entire amount of $1,111,200.
Fiscal Note
On September 27, 2004, the City Commission authorized staff to transfer funds recovered through June 30, 2004, in the amount of $496,082.37 into the departmental accounts from which the eligible expenditures occurred. The remaining recaptured funds in the amount of $59,517.63 are available to be transferred back into the departmental accounts from which the expenditures occurred. Funds have been disbursed in the proper amount to the Partnership for Strong Families.
