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), and Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA). Departments shall obtain Mayor and City Council approval before accepting and receiving a fire-related grant award that requires the commitment of matching funds, General Funds, or other city resources. 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. (c) The provisions of Section 14.6(a) and (b) do not apply to entitlement and/or formula grants or allocations. Whenever, and as soon as, it appears desirable to a department or office to apply for grants or allocations distributed as entitlements and/or by formula or for any other grant not meeting the provisions of 14(a) or 14(b), or to amend the terms of such a grant currently in effect, it shall notify the Mayor and the City Council thereof at the same time, in writing. The President of the Council shall thereupon refer it to the appropriate committee for its review and recommendation to the City Council. Such department or office shall proceed no further until approval is received from the City Council. Matters initiated by the City Council regarding notices of intent, grant applications, amendments to grant contracts, suspension or termination of grants, reprogramming of existing grant funds or other grant related matters may be presented to and acted upon at said time by the City Council, or such may be referred to the appropriate committee for review and recommendation. In the event the matter is referred to a committee, a copy thereof shall be simultaneously referred by the City Clerk to the Mayor with a request that the Mayor submit any recommendations thereon which the Mayor desires to make within ten (10) days of receipt of the matter.
