Helping communities find the federal funding they need.
The View from Washington State
W
ashington’s tax collections are forecast to be down another $780 million, further deepening the projected deficit. This means that lawmakers must attempt to balance a state budget that could be short by approximately $5.4 billion. The projected revenue decrease breaks down to $80 million for the current fiscal year (which ends in June and is part of the 2009–11 budget) and $700 million for the 2011–13 budget cycle. Lawmakers have been reluctant to talk about raising taxes to fill the gap this session, and have instead focused on cutting state programs. Governor Gregoire’s budget addresses a $4.6 billion shortfall created by dropping revenue due to the national recession affecting virtually every state across the country, and rising costs to provide basic services such as kindergartenthrough-12th grade education and health care. “The safety net will be stretched thin in some places and eliminated entirely in others,” Gregoire said. “For the functions that government no longer will be able to provide, we must turn to neighbors, private charities, faith-based organizations and other local programs. Our communities, more than ever, will be asked to step up.” §
Notes From the Field New regulations on access for the disabled are the first major revision of the Disabilities Act (ADA) in 20 years. The changes will affect more than 7 million facilities across the country, including many used for recreation. New construction and renovation will need to comply with the new requirements. The goal is to have the new regulations fit well with existing local building codes so that architects will have one standard to follow. Grant writers working with budgets for capital projects need to check with project managers to ensure that itemized costs are reflecting these new regulations.

State agencies were asked to identify activities that could benefit from the use of a performance-based contract. These contracts are reimbursement category payments released according to achievement of predetermined results, or outcomes. Although many agencies are already incorporating performance elements into their contracts, Governor Gregoire is interested in strengthening performance-based contracting efforts across Washington state government. Through Executive Order 10-07, the Governor has directed all state cabinet agencies to meet performancebased contracting standards in all new contracts for products and services, and to review existing contracts prior to renewal and update as necessary to reflect these standards. Executive Order also requires all state cabinet agencies to ensure performance-based contracts are actively managed to meet performance-based standards. § This article was contributed by Renee Bourque of Bright Star Grant Consultants.

The FundBook
Actionable funding information, visible results.
The purpose of The FundBook is to empower America’s local governments by increasing their awareness of, and ability to pursue, federal financial assistance for local projects. This is via a monthly publication which describes federal programs that are currently available, how to best pursue available funds, and trends in federal funding for projects relevant to local governments. Our product is designed to be the most user-friendly federal funding awareness resource for all sizes of local government.
• In-depth articles with analyses and recommendations of how to pursue federal funding for different capital improvement projects. • A single local government’s subscription can be sent monthly to as many full-time staff as requested.
• Dual focus on both grants and appropriations for expanded options and security. yo u r nce t e n h a ic le fl e e g to n d in n t’ s ve h fu g e in F in d g ove r n m l lo c a Dem nom

FY10 this program consisted of $15.5 million split among 20 awards and will almost certainly be available again in the coming year. The application period closed September 8 this year, so there is some time to plan a competitive grant before the new application cycle begins. The EDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund (GCCMF) was established to strengthen the linkages between economic development and environmental quality. One of the project types supported through this program is new construction or renovation that leads to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;green buildingâ&#x20AC;? with an LEEDâ&#x201E;˘ or comparable certification. Projects that are chosen must lead to a net positive outcome in terms of energy, materials, and/or water use efficiency. In FY10 this program consisted of $25 million and will almost certainly be
available again in the coming year. The application period is rolling, so there is as much time as necessary to plan a competitive grant before applying. (See p.11 Demystifying the EDA Grant Process Additionally, one of the most promising resources for local governments looking for this kind of federal funding is through their stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Energy Program (SEP). However, SEPs vary as the Department of Energy emphasizes the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as decision maker and administrator for SEP activities within each state. Priorities, and the amount available for this project type, are set by the state. To find out if funding is available in

your state, contact your area State Energy Office.
Other funding mechanisms There are also other funding types available for local government energy efficiency in buildings projects, though most are available at the state, not federal, level. An excellent resource that lists state programs relevant to this project type is the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, which can be accessed at goo.gl/h4b6 One federally available option is Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs) which can assist financing qualified energy conservation projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a term that includes energy efficiency capital expenditures for public buildings. QECB funding is available on a state-by-state basis, based on whether the federally issued funds have already been committed. Interested officials should contact their State Energy Office for additional information about availability. >
