Dear Mr.Calhoun:
On behalf of Attorney General William P.Barr,it is my pleasure to inform you that the Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.
Department of Justice(DOJ),has approved the application by City of Spokane Valley for an award under the OJP funding
opportunity entitled"BJA FY 20 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program." The approved award amount is
$75,065. These funds are for the project entitled COVID-19 Spokane Valley Police Department Pandemic Response.
The award document,including award conditions,is enclosed. The entire document is to be reviewed carefully before any
decision to accept the award. Also,the webpage entitled"Legal Notices:Special circumstances as to particular award
conditions"(ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm)is to be consulted prior to an acceptance. Through that
"Legal Notices"webpage,OJP sets out--by funding opportunity--certain special circumstances that may or will affect the
applicability of one or more award requirements. Any such legal notice pertaining to award requirements that is posted
through that webpage is incorporated by reference into the award.
Please note that award requirements include not only award conditions,but also compliance with assurances and certifications
that relate to conduct during the period of performance for the award. Because these requirements encompass financial,
administrative,and programmatic matters,as well as other important matters(e.g.,specific restrictions on use of funds),it is
vital that all key staff know the award requirements,and receive the award conditions and the assurances and certifications,as
well as the application as approved by OJP. (Information on all pertinent award requirements also must be provided to any
subrecipient of the award.)
Should City of Spokane Valley accept the award and then fail to comply with an award requirement,DOJ will pursue
appropriate remedies for non-compliance,which may include termination of the award and/or a requirement to repay award
funds.
Please direct questions regarding this award as follows:
-For program questions,contact Jeffrey S.Felten-Green,Program Manager at(202)514-8874;and
-For financial questions,contact the Customer Service Center of OJP's Office of the Chief Financial Officer at

Dear Mr.Calhoun:
Congratulations on your recent award. The Office for Civil Rights(OCR),Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.Department of
Justice(DOJ)has been delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial assistance from the OJP,the Office
of Community Oriented Policing Services(COPS),and the Office on Violence Against Women(OVW)are not engaged in
discrimination prohibited by law. Several federal civil rights laws,such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of
the Education Amendments of 1972,require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that they will comply with
those laws. In addition to those civil rights laws,many grant program statutes contain nondiscrimination provisions that require
compliance with them as a condition of receiving federal fmancial assistance. For a complete review of these civil rights laws and
nondiscrimination requirements,in connection with OJP and other DOJ awards,see
https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm
Under the delegation of authority,the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against recipients from individuals,entities,or
groups. In addition,the OCR conducts limited compliance reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits
permit the OCR to evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services in a non-
discriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that meet equal-opportunity standards.
If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice system,there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection
with the awards: (1)complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs(EEOPs);and(2)
submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information regarding the EEOP requirement,see 28 CFR Part 42,
subpart E,and for additional information regarding requirements when there is an adverse fmding,see 28 C.F.R.§§42.204(c),
.205(c)(5). Please submit information about any adverse fmding to the OCR at the above address.
We at the OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are associated with OJP and
other DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination
responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance,please do not hesitate to let us know.
Sincerely,
A/AA--

2. Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements
The Uniform Administrative Requirements,Cost Principles,and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R.Part 200,as adopted
and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R.Part 2800(together,the"Part 200 Uniform Requirements")apply to this FY
2020 award from OJP.
The Part 200 Uniform Requirements were first adopted by DOJ on December 26,2014. If this FY 2020 award
supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number(e.g.,funds awarded during or before
December 2014),the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all funds under that award number
(regardless of the award date,and regardless of whether derived from the initial award or a supplemental award)that
are obligated on or after the acceptance date of this FY 2020 award.
For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards and subawards
("subgrants"),see the OW website at https://ojp.gov/funding/Part200UnifonnRequirements.htm.

Memorandum To: Official Grant File
From: Orbin Terry,NEPA Coordinator
Subject: Categorical Exclusion for City of Spokane Valley
The Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding(CESF)Program allows eligible states,local units of
government,and tribes to support a broad range of activities including preventing,preparing for,and responding to
the coronavirus.
All recipients of CESF funding must assist BJA in complying with NEPA and other related federal environmental
impact analyses requirements in the use of grant funds,whether the funds are used directly by the grantee or by a
sub-grantee or third party.
BJA's expectation is that none of the following activities will be conducted whether under this federal award or a
related third party action:
(1)New construction
(2)Any renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area,
including property(a)listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places,or(b)located
within a 100-year flood plain,a wetland,or habitat for an endangered species
(3)A renovation that will change the basic prior use of a facility or significantly change its size
(4)Research and technology whose anticipated and future application could be expected to have an effect on the
environment
(5)Implementation of a program involving the use of chemicals(including the
identification,seizure,or closure of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories)other than chemicals that are(a)
purchased as an incidental component of a funded activity and(b)traditionally used,for example,in office,
household,recreational,or education environments.
Consequently,the subject federal action meets the Office of Justice Programs'criteria for a categorical exclusion
as contained in paragraph 4(b)of Appendix D to Part 61 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
If,however,award funds are proposed to be used for any of the enumerated projects or activities above,grant
recipients must contact their grant manager,and receive written approval prior to commencing that project or
activity.
Questions about this determination may be directed to your grant manager or Orbin Terry,Environmental
Coordinator for BJA.

Funding Program Solicitation
C F DA # 16.034
A. Program Description
Overview

136 (Emergency Appropriations for Coronavirus Health Response and Agency Operations); 28
U.S.C. 530C.
Permissible uses of Funds
Funds awarded under the CESF Program must be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and respond
to the coronavirus. Allowable projects and purchases include, but are not limited to, overtime,

Program other than the unallowable costs that are identified in the DOJ Grants Financial Guide;
however, the following items should be identified during application and appropriately justified as
noted:
• Individual items costing $500,000 or more— if the recipient intends to purchase an
individual item that costs $500,000 or more, those item(s) should be identified and

reasonable to receive approval.

specifically for the CESF Program award, and funds other awards or sources may not be
commingled with the funds in the account established for the CESF Program award. It is not
necessary that the interest-bearing account be a "trust fund." For additional information, see
2 C.F.R. § 200.305.
Prohibition of supplanting — Funds may not be used to supplant state or local funds but must
be used to increase the amounts of such funds that would, in the absence of federal funds, be
