Body acknowledges that all representations and information provided have been relied
on by the County to provide funding under this Agreement. Public Body shall promptly
notify County, in writing, of the occurrence of any event or any material change in
circumstances which would make any Public Body representation or information untrue
or incorrect or otherwise impair Public Body’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement.
b. Public Body will comply with any federal, state, or local public health orders or
mitigation recommendations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic which are in effect as
of the date this Agreement is signed by both Parties.
c. Public Body may not use grant funds for expenses for which the Public Body has
received any other federal funds or emergency COVID-19 supplemental funding,
whether it be state, federal, or private in nature, for the same expense. No portion of

any other law of the United States, except if authorized by law. Public Body shall
promptly notify County if it receives insurance proceeds or other disaster assistance
Page 4 of 12
(public or private) that duplicates the funding received under this Agreement. Grant
funds may not be used to cover expenses that were reimbursed by insurance.
d. Public Body shall not carry out any activities under this Agreement that results in a
prohibited duplication of benefits as defined by Section 312 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5155) and in accordance

Law 115–254; 132 Stat. 3442), which amended Section 312 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5155). If the Public Body
receives duplicate benefits from another source for projects related to this disaster, the
Public Body must refund the benefits provided by the County to the County. Duplication
of benefits occurs when Federal financial assistance is provided to a person or entity
through a program to address losses resulting from a Federally-declared emergency or
disaster, and the person or entity has received (or would receive, by acting reasonably
to obtain available assistance) financial assistance for the same costs from any other
source (including insurance), and the total amount received exceeds the total need for
those costs.
e. Public Body shall use all grant funds it receives under this Agreement by the end of the
school year of 2024. Any grant funds not used by that date must be returned to County.
f. Public Body understands that the grant funds it receives under this Agreement are a
subaward of County’s LFRF funds, and that County is required to manage and monitor
any subrecipient of LFRF funds. Therefore, Public Body agrees to comply with any
subrecipient monitoring requirements established by County or by Federal law.
6. REPAYMENT REMEDIES. Public Body is subject to repayment to the County of an amount
equal to the grant funds received by Public Body in the event Public Body has made
material misrepresentations to the County in its application, voluntary bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding are commenced against the Public Body and not set aside within
sixty (60) days, or the Public Body fails to otherwise comply with the requirements of this
Agreement. In the event County later determines the information Public Body provided in
conjunction with this Agreement, or that Public Body was ineligible for the grant funds, or
that Public Body’s use of the grant funds following receipt was contrary to this Agreement,
Public Body agrees to repay the grant funds to County in full. County further retains all
rights and remedies allowed in law or equity, including seeking payment of its reasonable
costs and expenses incurred enforcing its rights and remedies.
7. TAX LIABILITY. County and Public Body agree that to the extent that any part of the
aforementioned funds are deemed to be taxable, that Public Body agrees to be fully
responsible for the payment of any taxes, including withholding payments, social security, or
other funds which are required to be withheld. Public Body agrees to provide County with
all information and cooperation necessary to execute a completed 1099-G form; which
County will file with the United States Internal Revenue Service. Public Body acknowledges
that Public Body will consult with a tax professional regarding the tax implications, if any, of
the grant funds, and/or hereby waives the option to do so. Public Body further agrees to
indemnify and hold County harmless for the payment of any tax or withholding payments,
including any penalty assessed it may owe under this Agreement.

remedy at its disposal including, but not limited to, disallowance of costs, withholding of
funds or recoupment as may be necessary to satisfy requirements. Subawards or
subcontracts, if any, shall contain a provision making them subject to all of the provisions in
