LIVABLE COMMUNITIES DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGAM Page 9 of 13 SG-22064 revised 12/6/24 V. AGREEMENT TERM 5.01 Term and Close Out. This Agreement is effective upon execution of this Agreement by the Council. Unless terminated pursuant to Section 5.02, this Agreement expires on the Expiration Date identified at Page 1 of this Agreement. Failure of the Grantee to timely execute this Agreement does not extend the Expiration Date. The Grantee has 120 calendar days after the Expiration Date to provide documentation and information necessary to close out this Agreement and receive disbursements for eligible grant-funded Project activities as prescribed in Section 2.03. If the Grantee fails to provide necessary documentation and information during this 120-day close out period, the Grantee shall not be eligible to receive any unpaid grant funds and the Council will not disburse any unpaid grant funds to the Grantee. This 120-day close out period does not extend any Grantee reporting deadlines established in this Agreement or authorize the Grantee to expend or commit any grant funds after the Expiration Date. 5.02. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Council for cause at any time upon fourteen (14) calendar days’ written notice to the Grantee. Cause shall mean a material breach of this Agreement and any amendments of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Expiration Date, the Grantee shall receive payment on a pro rata basis for eligible Project activities described or identified in Attachments A and B that have been completed prior to the termination. Termination of this Agreement does not alter the Council’s authority to recover grant funds on the basis of a later audit or other review, and does not alter the Grantee’s obligation to return any grant funds due to the Council as a result of later audits or corrections. If the Council determines the Grantee has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act, the Council may take any action to protect the Council’s interests and may refuse to disburse additional grant funds and may require the Grantee to return all or part of the grant funds already disbursed. 5.03. Amendments and Extension. The Council and the Grantee may amend this Agreement by mutual agreement. Amendments or an extension of this Agreement shall be effective only on the execution of written amendments signed by authorized representatives of the Council and the Grantee. If the Grantee needs a change to the Project, additional time within which to complete the grant-funded activities and commence the Project, a change in the budget, or a change in grant-funded activities the Grantee must submit to the Council AT LEAST NINETY (90) CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE, a complete, written amendment request. All requirements must be met for a request to be considered complete. THE EXPIRATION DATE MAY BE EXTENDED, BUT THE PERIOD OF ANY EXTENSION(S) SHALL NOT EXCEED TWO (2) YEARS BEYOND THE ORIGINAL EXPIRATION DATE IDENTIFIED AT PAGE 1 OF THIS AGREEMENT. VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS 6.01. Equal Opportunity. The Grantee agrees it will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, familial status, membership or activity in a local civil rights commission, disability, sexual orientation, or age and will take affirmative action to insure applicants and employees are treated equally with respect to all aspects of employment, rates of pay and other forms of compensation, and selection for training. 6.02.
