or repeats an issue that was previously corrected, and has been
informed by the Division of their substantial non-compliance by
certified mail;the Division may require a portion of the awarded grant
amount or the amount of the CDBG investment for acquisition of the
properties conveyed,be returned to the Division.
The Division may require upwards of ten percent(10%)of the award
amount be returned to the Division, at the discretion of the Board of
County Commissioners.
