4. GENERAL GRANT INFORMATION
5. OVERVIEW Fund created pursuant to Section 57.278 RSMo Consists of monies collected from charges for services received by county sheriffs under subsection 4 of Section 57.280 RSMo Collected monies are deposited into the state treasury and are then deemed state monies Grant program administered by MOSMART Board, with technical assistance provided by the MO Department of Public Safety Contract Period: July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014 (12 months) No local match requirement
6. FUNDING Funds used solely to supplement the salaries, and employee benefits resulting from such salary increases, of county deputy sheriffs
7. ELIGIBILITY Agency must be in compliance with the following state statutes at the time of application and for the duration of the contract period: Section 57.280 RSMo: Sheriff’s Receive Charge on Civil Cases; Money Paid to State Treasurer Section 43.505 RSMo: Monthly Uniform Crime Reports (UCRs) Section 590.650 RSMo: Annual Racial Profiling Report Section 513.653 RSMo: Annual Federal Forfeiture Report Section 590.700 RSMo: Written Policy on Recording of Custodial Interrogations Section 577.005 RSMo: Written Policy on Forwarding Intoxication-Related Traffic Offenses
8. ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL GUIDELINES
9. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION If a project is not operational within 60 days of the contract start date, the Contractor must report to DPS, via the “Correspondence” component of WebGrants, the steps taken to initiate the project, the reasons for delay, and the expected start date. If a project is not operational within 90 days of the contract start date, the Contractor must submit a second statement to DPS, via the “Correspondence” component of WebGrants, explaining the implementation delay. Upon receipt of the second statement, the MOSMART Board may decide whether to continue with the project or to terminate the contract.
10. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS Counties can choose to issue supplementation salary in the same check as regular salary or in a separate check Supplementation share (at a minimum) should be clearly identified separate from regular salary, paid leave, and overtime Counties can also choose the frequency of distributing such supplementation funds (e.g. weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly) Budgets were approved based on the county’s desired frequency; the supplementation funds must be disbursed based on this frequency (unless a budget revision is submitted to change the frequency) Counties must understand that the DSSSF monies paid to an individual shall be included as annual salary for purposes of calculating the individual’s hourly rate for overtime, per the U.S. Department of Labor Counties must also understand, and make their employees aware, that wage garnishments based on the individual’s salary may be increased as a result of the increased availability of wages
11. PRO-RATING SUPPLEMENT Unpaid Leave Status Individuals are not eligible for supplemental salary while in unpaid leave status Must pro-rate the amount of supplemental salary issued to the deputy if unpaid leave status exceeds 10 hours in a 40-hour week. Example: John Smith works an 8 hour shift, 5 days a week and is paid monthly. He is placed on administrative leave without pay for 10 of the 22 days of a month (80 hours of the 176 hours possible or approximately 45.5% of the month). John would only be eligible for 12 of the 22 days of the month or approximately 55.5% of the supplemental salary. Change in Deputies/Position Vacancy Changes in employees during a payroll period will require the supplementation to be pro-rated Example #1: County A pays monthly and July 2013 has 23 regular working days in the month. John Smith worked 10 days while Jane Doe worked the other 13 days, which meant the position was not vacant during the month. John is eligible for 43.5% (10 of the 23 days) of the supplemental salary while Jane is eligible for 56.5% (13 of the 23 days) of the supplemental salary. Example #2: County B pays bi-weekly with 10 regular working days in the payroll cycle. John Smith worked 5 days while Jane Doe worked 3 days, which meant the position was vacant for 2 days. John is eligible for 50% (5 of the 10 days) while Jane is eligible for 30% (3 of the 10 days). No one is eligible for the remaining 20% (2 of 10 days).
12. ACCOUNTING/FINANCIAL RECORDS Establish and maintain accurate financial records and an adequate accounting system Records must be retained for a period of 3 years starting from the date of submission of the final Claim Report or from the date of submission of the audit for the contract period covered, whichever comes later. Records must be retained beyond a 3 year period if an audit is in progress and/or the findings of a completed audit have not been resolved. Must adhere to local policy if local retention period is longer than those stated herein. Financial records must be kept in an orderly manner and be available for audit purposes Responsible for protecting records against fire, theft, or other possible damages.
13. INTERNAL CONTROLS Agency must track, account for, and report on all DSSSF monies separately from all other funds Having the supplementation clearly identified on the employee paycheck Reconciling expenses with reimbursements Performing an audit or financial review of records Providing feedback on usage of supplementation funds DSSSF monies may be used in conjunction with other funding but shall not supplant local funds Supplanting is defined as having the DSSSF monies take the place of local obligations (e.g. county budget includes a salary increase for deputies but the agency decides to use the DSSSF monies as the salary increase rather than local funds) DSSSF monies are intended to increase the amount of funds available (not replace the amount of funds available) Agency should ensure appropriate internal controls exist for the programmatic and financial aspects of the project
14. AUDIT REQUIREMENTS Audit is required if the agency expends $250,000 or more in state funds within the organization’s fiscal year from any state source Audit must be performed organization-wide by an independent firm Audit must be conducted with reasonable frequency, usually annually, but not less frequently than every two years Doesn’t mean that the audit can include every other year though! Must submit a copy of such audit to DPS via the “Correspondence” component of WebGrants, where possible Can mail a copy to DPS if unable to scan the audit report DPS determines which agencies must comply with this requirement based on the information provided on the “Audit Requirements” application form; if the State Share >= $250,000, then a copy of that audit must be forwarded to DPS
15. PRINTING AND PUBLICITY Contractors are encouraged to make the results and accomplishments of their activities available to the public through media release. All printed materials and/or press releases, however, must include an acknowledgement of the funding source. For example: This project was supported by funding made available through the Deputy Sheriff Salary Supplementation Fund program administered by the State of Missouri and the MOSMART Board.
16. REPORTING OF FRAUD Contractors, or employee of the Contractor, must promptly notify the MOSMART Board and/or the MO Department of Public Safety of any credible evidence that an employee, contractor, or other person has either submitted a false claim for grant funds or has committed a criminal or civil violation of laws pertaining to the fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving grant funds. Any credible evidence will be reviewed by the MOSMART Board and/or the MO Department of Public Safety and handled as deemed appropriate.
17. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT In the event the MOSMART Board and/or MO Department of Public Safety determine that a Contractor is operating in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the application or is failing to comply with the applicable program guidelines, the MOSMART Board may permanently or temporarily terminate the contract. Should a contract be terminated, the Contractor has the right to an appeal hearing. In the event it is determined the Contractor made false statements relating to a position and/or annual salary in order to receive funding, the MOSMART Board may take action as deemed appropriate to recover any portion of the contract funds remaining and/or an amount equal to the portion of the contract funds wrongfully used.

61.

Excess money from vacant position can be reallocated to cover higher than budgeted fringe benefits = a “Contract Adjustment” to edit budget lines Excess money from vacant position(s) and/or lower than budgeted fringe benefit(s) can be reallocated to a deputy filling a vacant position at a lower annual salary than the position was originally budgeted for = a “Contract Adjustment” to edit existing budget lines Award from each position can be decreased to allow for funding for positions left out of the budget at time of application = a “Contract Adjustment” to edit existing budget lines and to add an additional line Award for fringe benefits can be decreased to allow for funding for positions left out of the budget at time of application = a “Contract Adjustment” to edit existing budget lines and to add an additional line
