Iowa Admin. Code r. 261-200.7

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 6, September 18, 2024

Rule 261-200.7 - Final application and approval process.

(1)Final application required.

a. An applicant that receives a provisional funding decision must submit a final application to the board within one year of the submission of the preapplication. An applicant that does not file a final application within that time will be scored again with all other applicants who file in the next annual filing window.

b. A final application shall meet all the requirements described in rule 261-200.5 (15J).

(2)Amendments to preapplications and rescoring of plans. An applicant may amend any part of the preapplication when submitting the final application and must amend the application if any part of the proposed district plan will be materially different from the plan that was proposed during the preapplication process. If the board determines that a final application is substantially different from the related preapplication, then the board may rescore the application and reevaluate the provisional funding decision prior to taking final action. If the board elects to rescore and reevaluate an application, the application will be rescored and reevaluated in the same manner and according to the same criteria used initially.

(3)Final funding decision and establishment of commencement date. After submission of all information required for the final application, the board will make a final funding decision, establish a final maximum benefit amount, and establish a commencement date for the district. The commencement date established by the board will be the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the later of the two dates identified for the project that proposed the largest amount of capital investment among all proposed projects in the district as described in subrule 200.5(2).

(4)Provisional funding decisions not determinative of final funding decision. The board's final funding decision may be different from its provisional funding decision. The board may ratify, amend, defer, or rescind the provisional funding decision. If the board's final funding decision causes additional funding to become available, the board may amend a funding decision for another proposed district plan made during the same annual filing window or may reserve the additional funding capacity for the next annual filing window.

(5)Posting of application and materials to Internet site. Upon final approval by the board, the district plan, along with the municipality's resolution and all accompanying materials, will be posted on the authority's Internet site for public viewing within ten days of approval by the board and will be maintained there for a period of three years.
