(2)
			 Subject to availability of funds, applicants shall be eligible for not less
			 than 50% of the base funding level noted in sub. (1) except as provided in sub.
			 (3).
(3) When an applicant's cost
			 for the comprehensive plan is less than the base funding level noted in sub.
			 (1), the community shall be eligible for up to 75% of the actual plan costs not
			 to exceed the eligible grant amount in sub. (2).
Example: A town's population is 300. The town's proposed cost
				of plan is $12,000. The town would be eligible for up to a $9,000 grant.
(4) When the population of the
			 applicant is within 5% of the next higher population category, the applicant's
			 base funding level shall be the average of the 2 categories.
Example: A village's population is 1,993. The eligible base
				funding level of the village is $25,000
(5) For a multi-jurisdictional plan, each
			 local governmental unit participating within the application shall add together
			 the base funding levels of each unit participating plus add an additional 10%
			 incentive of the total base funding level for each city, village and town.
Example 1:
Town of Badger (pop: 1,400)
$20,000
Village of Dairyland (pop: 2,700)
+ $30,000
Total Base
= $50,000
50% base award
= $25,000
10% Incentive on Total Base
+ 5,000
Maximum Grant Award =
$30,000
Example 2:
County of Holstein (pop: 112,600)
$200,000
Town of Robin (pop: 1,400)
+ $20,000
Town of Galena (pop: 947)
+ $20,000
Town of Guernsey (pop: 2,700)
+ $30,000
Town of Violet (pop: 865)
+ $20,000
Town of Granite (pop: 1,180)
+ $20,000
Total Base
= $310,000
50% base award
= $155,000
10% Incentive for each town
+ $11,000
Maximum Grant Award =
$166,000
(6)
			 For a multi-jurisdictional plan where all towns within a county participate
			 jointly under a county plan and are included within a single grant application,
			 the maximum grant award shall also include a 10% incentive of the county base
			 funding level.
Note: In s. Adm 48.05(5), Example 2, if all towns in Holstein
				Co. participate, the maximum grant award increases by the additional $20,000
				incentive (10% of $200,000 = $20,000).
(7) A grantee's local match is the difference
			 between the total cost for the comprehensive plan development and the grant
			 provided under this chapter. A grantee's local match may be financed in the
			 annual budget, by in-kind services and through grants from other sources. Not
			 more than 50% of the local match may be through federal grants.
(8) The grant may contain multiple state and
			 federal funding sources. The department shall comply with the requirements and
			 provisions of the funding sources and shall require grantees to comply with any
			 requirements related to the funding sources. Requirements of these funding
			 sources shall be outlined in the planning grant manual.
