Summary: New mandated policy and mandated regulation reflect major requirements for the management of federal grant funds contained in the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called the "Uniform Guidance"), including the mandate to adopt written procedures related to procurement, conflict of interest, cash management, and allowable costs. Policy addresses the board's desire to maintain fiscal integrity and transparency in the use of federal grant funds, key components of the district's financial management system, and the submission of performance reports in accordance with law and the requirements of the awarding agency.

Regulation includes material related to allowable costs, procurement, cash management, audits, and records, including requirements for employees to document "time and effort" spent on grant activities. Regulation also reflects the option to delay implementation of the procurement standards in the Uniform Guidance up to July 1, 2017, provided that the decision is documented in the district's procurement policy.
