eligible for funding consideration must compete with all other eligible projects as funds become available. All funding decisions are subject to recommendation of the LTAC and approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Awards may be authorized for projects which have completed Steps 1 and 2 annually as funding allows, and may include consideration of how a project ranks in priority with regard to all other eligible projects, project readiness, and other factors as determined by the LTAC. All eligible projects which have completed Steps 1 and 2 of this process will be notified each year when funding is available, the amount of funding, and the process for funding decisions. It is the intent of this process that project funding will be considered annually. It is not the intent of this process to be the sole funding source for any non -county owned project and some county -owned projects. Strict minimum matching fund commitments will be required from all non -county owned projects as well as from some county -owned projects (see page 7 "Matching Funds Requirements". Each step of the process is illustrated in figure 2 and further described as follows: Step 1 —Application for CIP Project List Applicants must first apply and be approved to be included in the program's CIP. In order to generate the program's CIP, the County will request project proposals at least once every five years. To facilitate this process, the County's LTAC will create an application form to use in evaluating proposals. Applicants must fill out the form and submit it to the LTAC. The LTAC will review the proposals and make recommendations for creating the list of projects for the program's CIP to the Board of County Commissioners. All applications will be rated and ranked according to the rating sheet included in this packet. The Board of County Commissioners will make the final decision to approve or reject the list. Step 2 — Feasibility Analysis Applicants whose projects are included in the program's capital improvement plan shall propose a scope of work to determine overall project feasibility. The scope of work will be included in a Step 2 agreement between the applicant and the County. The LTAC shall manage all agreements and will submit the proposed Step 2 agreement to the TRT for recommendation. The LTAC and the TRT may recommend modifications to the scope of work for project feasibility requirements as necessary. Feasibility requirement may include, but are not limited to, long term operations and management plan, site evaluations, funding mechanisms, market analysis, business plan development, etc. The LTAC's and TRT's recommendations shall be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for final approval. No funding will be included in Step 2 agreements. Step 2 agreements will be reviewed at least annually by the LTAC and the TRT to assess progress and review compliance. The LTAC and the TRT may meet more frequently if needed and/or requested by the applicant. Applicants who do not meet Step 2 agreement requirements within the timeframe outlined in the agreement will not continue in this program or remain on the CIP. Step 2 agreement amendments, including the addition of requirements, modifications of existing requirements, or time extensions shall be reviewed by the LTAC and the TRT.
