However, if the LOCAL GOVERNMENT elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, the cost of the audit must be paid from the nonstate entity's resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be paid from the LOCAL GOVERNMENT resources obtained from other than State entities). 4.
