Intermediate Punishment
In an effort to ensure that Fiscal Year 2015/2016 County IP funds are expended, PCCD is
asking that you review your fiscal reports, evaluate your IP expenditures, and submit a
Project Modification Request (PMR) to voluntarily reduce current year awards if you
project that you will not expend your entire award by June 30, 2016. It is critical that
Fiscal Year 2015/2016 funds do not lapse.
Currently, there are County IP funds available to support augmentations. If after review of your budget(s) you find that additional funds are needed, you may submit a PMR requesting an augmentation to your current award. Augmentations will be considered based on demonstrated need, compliance to reporting requirements, program performance, current expenditures and adherence to program guidelines. All PMRs must be submitted in Egrants by February 26, 2016. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Jackie Weaknecht or your fiscal contact, Joyce Pierce (717-265-8507 or [email protected]) or Greg Harhigh (717-265-8506 or [email protected]).
