This grant, if awarded, will result in maximum reimbursement award of $58,767.74. As indicated last year, due to the success of our previous and current grant we have been advised that we may be eligible for a fourth year and possible a fifth year grant. The attached 5 Year Cost Assumption Plan indicates that a higher level of match will be required for years four and five if we choose to apply for the grant and receive the award. A 5 Year Cost Assumption plan is required each year as part ofthe grant request submittal process. As in previous years, we are able to meet our match requirement through our employee benefits, mileage, fuel, etc., as the grant only pays base salary. ~/1 ~., Date ~CJJ1.
