If the SPONSOR offers the Property for sale before fifteen (15) years after the SPONSOR's
receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy, or at any other time when there are existing mortgages
on the Property funded under the SHIP program, then the SPONSOR must give a right of first
refusal (ROFR) for a 90 day period, to experienced non-profit organizations, reasonably
approved by the County for purchase of the Property, at the then current market value, for
continued occupancy by eligible persons. The 90 day right of first refusal period begins when a
legal advertisement appears in a local newspaper of general circulation or other method
authorized by statute or regulation offering the Property for sale to non-profit organizations.

price or any other offer considered in the sole determination of the SPONSOR to be reasonable,

strategy sponsor selection criteria, in the County's FY 2013-2016 SHIP Local Housing

party pursuant to the terms thereof subsequent to the 90-day period then the SPONSOR can
offer the property for the fair market value for continued occupancy with eligible tenants.
The County shall provide an initial loan disbursement of$250,000 for rehabilitation activities
and will reconcile actual expenditures reported to the funds disbursed to the Sponsor based on
the properly completed Invoice with an accompany AlA or equivalent documentation. Once
the initial loan disbursement is reconciled and expended by the Sponsor, the Sponsor shall
submit a final loan request for $250,000 until all funds are disbursed not to exceed $500,000.
All funds are secured by a promissory note and mortgage signed prior to the disbursement of
any funds to secure the funds. Should the SPONSOR fail to perform the promissory note will
be due and payable for the amount disbursed to date.
Any funds disbursed to the Sponsor that are not expended or were determined to have been
expended for unallowable costs shall be considered overpayment to the Sponsor. The County
shall recoup such overpayments. In the event an overpayment is identified after the end of the
contract and no further invoice is due, the Sponsor shall remit the overpayment to the County
via check.
The County shall release a check in the amount of$250,000 upon entering an agreement with
SPONSOR for Rental Rehabilitation funds and secure a 0% subordinate mortgage and
forgivable note for the rehabilitation. Thereafter the SPONSOR will request a second loan
disbursement upon submission and approval by CHS of SPONSOR'S AIA documentation that
shows funds have been expensed properly and in a timely manner for the initial loan
disbursement. The SPONSOR shall ensure the performance of this Agreement. The second
loan disbursement for rehabilitation will not occur if the SPONSOR fails to perform the
minimum level of service required by this Agreement. Final reconciliation invoices are due no
later than 90 days after the end of this Agreement.

for grant compliance and adherence to any and all applicable local, state or federal
requirements. The second loan disbursement will be made upon receipt of a properly completed
invoice and in compliance with §218.70, Florida Statutes, otherwise known as the "Local
Government Prompt Payment Act."
The COUNTY reserves the right to withhold any future loan disbursements as a result of
incomplete or altered invoices, inadequately documented expenses, or expenses for items and
services the COUNTY deems not to be usual, customary and reasonable expenses related to
improvements of the Project. Additionally, the COUNTY reserves the right to not pay any
contractor, subcontractor, material men or supplier wherein a dispute arises.
The COUNTY shall provide the second loan disbursement for the rehabilitation work
performed based on the SPONSOR'S delivery to the COUNTY (i) an invoice, and subsequent
documents to support the first loan disbursement to include but not limited to (ii) AIA G703,
(iii) second loan disbursement request, (iv) the delivery of an executed Partial Release of Lien

The SPONSOR shall retain all records pertinent to expenditures incurred under this
Agreement for a period of five (5) fiscal years after the funds have been expended and
accounted for, provided applicable audits have been released. Notwithstanding the
above, if there is litigation, claims, audits, negotiations or other actions that involve any
of the records cited and that have started before the expiration of the five-year period,
then such records must be retained until completion of the actions and resolution of all
issues, or the expiration of the ten-year period, whichever occurs later.
C. DISCLOSURE
The SPONSOR shall maintain records in accordance with Florida's Public Information
Law(F.S. 119).
D. CLOSEOUTS

between state and federal law records retention requirements will result in the more
stringent law being applied such that the record must be held for the longer duration.
Any balance of unexpended funds which have been disbursed must be returned to the
County. Any funds paid in excess of the amount to which the SPONSOR is entitled
under the terms and conditions of this Agreement must be refunded to the COUNTY.

invested. The SPONSOR shall be responsible for ongoing reporting, subject to onsite
monitoring, tenant income qualification activities and continued use for a period of 15
years.
E. AUDITS AND INSPECTIONS
1. Audits
Pursuant to Florida Statute 215.97(6) (Florida Single Audit Act), in the event that
the SPONSOR expends a total amount of State awards equal to or in excess of$500,000
in any fiscal year of such SPONSOR, the SPONSOR must have a State single or
project-specific audit for such fiscal year in accordance with Section 215.97, Florida
Statutes; applicable rules of the Executive Office of the Governor and the Comptroller,
and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Auditor General.
In connection with these audit requirements, the SPONSOR shall ensure that the
audit complies with the requirements of Section 215.97(7), Florida Statutes. This
includes submission of a reporting package as defined by Section 215.97(2)(d), Florida
Statutes, and Chapter 10.650, Rules of the Auditor General. The financial reporting
9
•
1 6 0 1 7
package must be delivered to the COUNTY within 45 days after delivery of the
financial reporting package to the SPONSOR but no later than 180 days after the
SPONSOR's fiscal year end. Submit the financial reporting package and Exhibit G to
the Grant Coordinator.
If the SPONSOR expends less than $500,000 in State awards in its fiscal year, an
audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, is
not required. In the event that the SPONSOR expends less than $500,000 in State
awards in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the
provision of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, the cost of the audit must be paid from
non-State funds.
2. Inspections
The SPONSOR'S records with respect to any matters covered by this Agreement shall
be made available to the COUNTY and/or the FHFC at any time during normal
business hours, as often as the COUNTY or the FHFC deems necessary, to audit,
examine, and make excerpts or transcripts of all relevant data.
F. MONITORING
The SPONSOR agrees that CHS will carry out no less than one (1) annual on-site
monitoring visit and evaluation activities as determined necessary for a period of fifteen
(15) years. At the COUNTY's discretion, a desk top review of the activities may be

upon satisfactory evaluations. The SPONSOR shall, upon the request of CHS, submit
information and status reports required by CHS to enable CHS to evaluate said progress
and to allow for completion of reports required. The SPONSOR shall allow CHS to
monitor the SPONSOR on site. Such site visits may be scheduled or unscheduled as
determined by CHS.
The COUNTY will monitor the performance of the SPONSOR based on goals and
performance standards as stated with all other applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations, and policies governing the funds provided under this Agreement.
Substandard performance, as determined by the COUNTY, will constitute
noncompliance with this Agreement. If corrective action is not taken by the SPONSOR
within a reasonable period of time after being notified by the COUNTY, contract
suspension or termination procedures will be initiated. The SPONSOR agrees to
provide the COUNTY, or the COUNTY's internal auditor(s) access to all records
related to performance of activities in this agreement.
G. CORRECTIVE ACTION
Corrective action plans may be required for noncompliance, nonperformance, or
unacceptable performance under this Agreement. Penalties may be imposed for failures
to implement or to make acceptable progress on such corrective action plans.
In order to effectively enforce Resolution 2013-228, Community and Human Services
(CHS) Division has adopted an escalation policy to ensure continued compliance by
recipients, SPONSORS, or any entity receiving grant funds from CHS. CHS's policy
10 0
16017
for escalation for non-compliance is as follows:
1. Initial non-compliance may result in Findings or Concerns being issued to the
entity and will require a corrective action plan be submitted to the Division
within 15 days following the monitoring visit.
• Any pay requests that have been submitted to the Division for payment will be
held until the corrective action plan has been submitted.
• CHS will be available to provide Technical Assistance (TA) to the entity as
needed in order to correct the non-compliance issue.
2. If in the case an Entity fails to submit the corrective action plan in a timely
manner to the Division, the Division may require a portion of the awarded grant
amount be returned to the Division.
• The Division may require upwards of five percent (5%) of the awarded amount
be returned to the Division, at the discretion of the CHS Director.
• The entity may be considered in violation of Resolution 2013-228.
3. If in the case an Entity continues to fail to correct the outstanding issue 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 be returned to the Division.
• The Division may require upwards of ten percent (10%) of the awarded amount
be returned to the Division, at the discretion of the CHS Director.
• The entity will be considered in violation of Resolution 2013-228
4. If in the case after repeated notification the Entity continues to be substantially
non-compliant, the Division may recommend the contract or award be
terminated.
• The Division will make a recommendation to the Board of County
Commissioners to immediately terminate the agreement or contract. The Entity
will be required to repay all funds disbursed by the County for project that was
terminated.
The entity will be considered in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
If in the case the Entity has multiple agreements with the Division and is found to be
non-compliant, the above sanctions may be imposed across all awards at the Director's
discretion.
H. DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES

Inspector who will perform a review and inspection of the Project prior to each
additional disbursement following the initial loan disbursement, verifying that the costs
