Neither party may restrict the other party’s use of any report. <br />Subject to the requirements of Minnesota Statutes section 16C.05, subd. 5, COUNTY, the <br />State Auditor, or any of their duly authorized representatives, at any time during normal <br />business hours, and as often as they may reasonably deem necessary, shall have access to <br />and the right to examine, audit, excerpt, and transcribe any books, documents, papers, <br />records, etc., which are pertinent to the accounting practices and procedures of GRANTEE <br />and involve transactions relating to this Agreement. GRANTEE shall maintain these <br />materials and allow access during the period of this Agreement and for six (6) years after <br />its expiration or termination. <br />3. GRANT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT <br />As the Grant Requirements are completed, GRANTEE shall invoice COUNTY, on a <br />disbursement request form provided by COUNTY, for allowable costs and payments <br />actually incurred by GRANTEE in performance of the Grant Requirements. GRANTEE <br />shall also submit receipts and other supporting documentation related to the Grant <br />Requirements. Administrative costs incurred by GRANTEE are not eligible for <br />reimbursement. <br />For all expenditures made pursuant to this Agreement, GRANTEE shall keep financial <br />records including properly executed contracts, invoices, and other documents sufficient to <br />evidence in proper detail the nature and propriety of the expenditures. Accounting methods <br />shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. <br />Any material change in the scope of the Project, including time schedule and budget, must <br />be approved in writing by COUNTY to be eligible for reimbursement with Grant Funds. <br />Upon COUNTY’s validation of a disbursement request form and any supporting <br />documentation or certifications, COUNTY shall pay invoiced and validated Grant Funds <br />directly to GRANTEE within six (6) weeks. <br />GRANTEE may submit disbursement requests monthly. The final invoice and all <br />supporting documentation shall be submitted within six (6) months of the expiration of <br />this Agreement. <br />Unless the parties otherwise agree, COUNTY shall have no obligation to reimburse or <br />pay GRANTEE any amount: (i) for any expenditures, costs, or expenses incurred prior to <br />the commencement date stated in Section 1 of this Agreement; or (ii) for any <br />expenditures, costs, or expenses that the COUNTY determines are not directly related to <br />the Grant Requirements. <br />If GRANTEE’s expenditures, costs, and expenses associated with its Project and/or the <br />Grant Requirements exceed the Grant Funds, GRANTEE shall be solely responsible for <br />payment of those amounts without reimbursement by COUNTY. <br />37
