Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) Commission staff will evaluate each
			 county's application based on the criteria provided in OAR
			 213-060-0060,
			 and will make recommendations to the Grant Review Committee. If the
			 recommendation by staff to the Grant Review Committee would be to not fund the
			 grant proposal, the Commission staff shall first work with applicant to attempt
			 to rehabilitate the application.
(2) The Grant Review Committee will review
			 each county's grant application and the recommendations of Commission staff,
			 and notify the Commission regarding which applications it has approved. The
			 Grant Review Committee may reject portions of the application that fail to meet
			 the criteria set forth in OAR
			 213-060-0060.
			 Approval by the Grant Review Committee is subject to final approval by the
			 Commission. The Commission may either approve the grant application or return
			 the application for reconsideration by the Grant Review Committee.
(3) Upon request of the Grant Review
			 Committee, the Commission shall decline to grant the full grant amount
			 requested by a county, provide technical assistance, withhold approved grant
			 funds, or terminate further distribution of the grant award if a county does
			 not reduce utilization of imprisonment in Department of Corrections facilities
			 by offenders convicted of felonies described in ORS
			 137.717,
			 475.752 to
			 475.980,
			 811.182,
			 813.010,
			 or
			 813.011.
(4) The Commission will review and evaluate
			 approvals of the Grant Review Committee, and provide a final approval or will
			 return the application for reconsideration by the Committee. The Grant Review
			 Committee may submit to the Commission, and the Commission may approve,
			 provisional funding plans for counties applying for grants. The Commission will
			 notify applicants of the decision of the Commission within 60 days from the
			 expiration of the grant application deadline. If there are extenuating
			 circumstances, the Commission may, in its sole discretion, extend the deadline
			 for award notification. The Commission will prepare a grant award agreement for
			 each grant awarded, which will set forth the terms, conditions, and
			 requirements of the grant. The Commission may issue a provisional one year
			 award with continued funding contingent upon improved performance and progress
			 toward the goals of justice reinvestment as set forth in OAR
			 213-060-0060.
(5) The Commission may amend a grant awarded
			 under this rule. After the grant is awarded the Commission may amend the amount
			 originally awarded based on non-compliance with the terms of the award. If the
			 recommendation by staff to the Commission would be not to continue to fund the
			 grant proposal, the Commission staff shall first work with applicant to attempt
			 to rehabilitate the application.
