Introduction
A grant agreement must be approved and executed in accordance
with subgrantee procedures. This may involve placement on the agenda
for a city council meeting, the county commissioners’ court, or
a state agency’s director, board, or commission. Scheduling time
frames vary from agency to agency.
Some local governments require agenda items to be heard
at three consecutive meetings, which adds significantly to the time
required for grant approval.
Scheduling requirements must be considered in the approval
process to stay on a project schedule so that it can be activated
on time.
