LOCAL HOUSING INCENTIVES ACCOUNT Consultant/contractor invoices showing the time period covered by the invoice; the specific grant -funded Project activities conducted or completed during the authorized time period within which eligible costs may be incurred; and documentation supporting expenses including subcontractor and consultant invoices showing unit rates, quantities, and a description of the good or services provided. Subcontractor markups shall not exceed ten percent (10%). The Council will disburse grant funds on a reimbursement basis or a "cost incurred" basis. The Grantee must provide with its written payment requests documentation that shows grant -funded Project activities actually have been completed. Subject to verification of each payment request form (and the required documentation) and approval for consistency with this Agreement, the Council will disburse a requested amount to the Grantee within two (2) weeks after receipt of a properly completed and verified payment request form. 2.12. Interest Earnings. If the Grantee earns any interest or other income from the grant funds received from the Council under this Agreement, the Grantee will use the interest earnings or income only for the purposes of implementing the Project activities described or identified in Attachment A. 2.13. Effect of Grant. Issuance of this grant neither implies any Council responsibility for contamination, if any, at the Project site nor imposes any obligation on the Council to participate in any pollution cleanup of the Project site if such cleanup is undertaken or required. 2.14. Resale Limitations. The Grantee must impose resale limitations regarding the disposition of any equity realized by the purchasers of "affordable" units if grant funds received from the Council under this Agreement are used for homeownership affordability gap financing in the Project described or identified in Attachment A. The intent of this resale limitation is to protect the public investment in the Project and ensure that a proportion of the affordability gap provided by the public investment in the form of grant funds received from the Council is recaptured for reuse in conjunction with other affordable housing efforts and does not become a windfall for any purchaser who might sell the home prior to expiration of a predetermined resale limitation period. If a purchaser sells the "affordable" home prior to expiration of the resale limitation time period, an equitable proportion of the affordability gap filled by grant funds received from the Council under this Agreement must be recaptured by the Grantee within twenty-four (24) months of the triggering resale event and applied to a similar affordable housing project within the Participating Municipality, or returned to the Council. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Council and the Grantee, the length of the resale limitation time period and the proportion of the affordability gap to be recovered will be consistent with resale limitation time periods and repayment schedules stated in the Project application. These resale limitations do not apply when the grant funds are used for homeownership value gap financing. Page 6 of 10 Pages 2015(12-2014) LHIA rev. 12/05/14
