Sec. 14.6. Approval of Grant Applications. (a) Non-matching funds grants. (1) General Managers, Officers and/or Directors may submit applications for competitive and/or discretionary grants to granting agencies without Mayor and City Council approval if no City General Funds, matching funds or other commitments of City resources are required, consistent with any direction from the Mayor under Charter Section 231(h). Simultaneously with the submission of a grant application to a granting agency, the General Manager, Officer and/or Director applying for the grant shall transmit a copy of the grant application and an explanatory memorandum to the Mayor, Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO), Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), and to the City Clerk for committee and City Council consideration pursuant to procedures established by the City Council. Offices and departments shall obtain Mayor and City Council approval before accepting and receiving the grant award. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (a), during the duration of a Major Disaster or Emergency Declaration by either the federal or state government, General Managers, Officers, and/or Directors may both submit applications and accept awards, consistent with direction from the Mayor under Charter Section 231(h), for competitive and/or discretionary grants from granting agencies without Mayor or City Council approval if no City General Funds, matching funds or other commitments of City resources are required. As soon as practicable after receipt of an award letter and/or award documentation, but prior to the certification of acceptance of the award, the General Manager, Officer and/or Director applying for the grant shall transmit a copy of the award letter and/or documentation and any terms and conditions attached thereto to the Mayor, Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO), and the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA). Offices and departments are not required to obtain Mayor or City Council approval before accepting and receiving the emergency-related grant award. Nothing in this subdivision authorizes an office or department to accept a grant if the acceptance, terms, assurances, or conditions of the grant violate another provision of City law, the determination of which shall be made by the City Attorney. (b) Matching funds grants.
