Washington State Parks & Recreation Commission 2016 <br />Marine Patrol Federal Financial Assistance Grant Program <br />SECTION 3 - FY 2016 GRANT APPLICATION <br />LOCAL FUNDING MATCH: MLE FUNDING ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. <br />aI 100% match requirement if agency receives $10,000 or less of VRF fees. <br />match requirement if agency receives more than $10,000 in VRF fees. <br />c) State Parks feels the most successful RBS programs have support in their local communities. The <br />clearest sign of support is the amount of funds budgeted by county commissioners or city <br />councils for local RBS programs. State Parks is prioritizing its federal assistance grants for <br />communities that have made RBS programs a priority by budgeting local dollars for their <br />program. State Parks does not want to discourage or prevent a community that has made <br />marine law enforcement a priority from receiving federal assistance grants, however State Parks <br />1) would like to increase the local commitment for funding boating safety and 2) is unable to <br />fund local marine law enforcement programs by itself so it is prioritizing funding to those <br />communities that can provide a local match. The documentation of local match should show <br />what local funds have been budgeted for the agency's marine law enforcement program for <br />2016 — the same funds that when spent, would be reported in the vessel registration <br />expenditure report. For the purposes of the financial assistance grants application, State Parks <br />would accept an official budget document on agency letterhead, signed by the police chief or <br />sheriff as evidence of the financial commitment made by the community and would suffice to <br />meet the match requirement for the 2016 federal assistance grants. State Parks is only <br />considering locally provided funds as match. Other grant funds or in-kind contributions would <br />not meet these criteria. <br />Describe the agency's match category (100% or 5096) and how those local matching funds will be used. <br />Kittitas County falls in the 5076 match of vessel registration fees category. Matching funds will be used <br />to provide saleries and benefits for Marine Patrol deputies working on normal patrol time. For each <br />shift where a deputy is working marine patrol funded by grant money, a matching deputy will be <br />working as well funded through vessel registration fees. <br />BOATING FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE GRANT 17 <br />P&R A-300 (REV. 12/2015) <br />
