Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) The Oklahoma Department of Commerce
				recognizes that the effective use of limited Community Development Block Grant
				resources depends on the capacity of general-purpose units of local government
				to administer such funds. In cases where the government does not plan to
				administer such grants with its own staff, it is in the interest of the state
				and the local governments to ensure that those who contract to provide CDBG
				administrative services for a fee are thoroughly familiar with all relevant
				rules, regulations and policies of the program; therefore,
(b) All persons who administer CDBG grants
				for a fee, regardless of the source of pay, and who are not full-time employees
				of units of general purpose local government, shall be certified as CDBG grant
				administrators by the Department of Commerce before being hired for CDBG grant
				administration by CDBG grantees. Full-time employees of units of
				general-purpose local government do not have to be certified to administer CDBG
				grants, but their salaries or wages cannot be charged as an administrative
				expense unless they are certified. ODOC will maintain a list of certified CDBG
				grant administrators for review by interested grantees.
(c) The authority for such certification
				process is given to the State of Oklahoma pursuant to

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
The following practices are considered unethical conduct per

(1) Certified CDBG Administrators shall not
				enter into contracts with an applicant offering to prepare an application to
				ODOC for CDBG funding assistance with the understanding that no fee for
				preparing the application will be charged if that administrator is selected to
				administer the project. Administrators shall enter into a separate contract for
				the preparation of the application if the Administrator wishes to be paid. The
				previous contract and/or fee shall have no impact on the fee negotiated between
				the Administrators and the city, town, or county the Administrator is
				negotiating with.
(2) All CDBG
				award recipients are to procure their CDBG Administrators from the list of
				certified CDBG Administrators, unless the recipient wishes to self-administer
				the project. Any attempt by a certified CDBG administrator to influence the
				selection of the certified CDBG administrator by the recipient of the CDBG
				award is unethical conduct.
