43 city, town, village, special improvement district, fire district, public
44 library, association library, or public library system as defined by
45 section two hundred seventy-two of the education law, provided however,

50 board, school district, or board of cooperative educational services;
51 provided, however, that for the purposes of this definition, a board of

15 (ii) Within the annual amounts appropriated therefor, the secretary of
16 state may award competitive grants to municipalities to cover costs
17 associated with local government efficiency projects, including, but not
18 limited to, planning for or implementation of a municipal consolidation
19 or dissolution, a functional consolidation, a city or county charter
20 revision that includes functional consolidation, shared or cooperative

24 further, that eligible local government efficiency projects shall not
25 include studies and plans for a local government re-organization eligi-

48 district pursuant to this subparagraph shall not be included in the
49 approved operating expense of the school district as defined in para-
50 graph t of subdivision one of section thirty-six hundred two of the
51 education law.
52 (v) The maximum cumulative grant award for a local government effi-
53 ciency project shall not exceed two hundred thousand dollars per munici-
54 pality; provided, however, that in no case shall such a project receive
55 a cumulative grant award in excess of one million dollars. The maximum
56 grant award for a local government efficiency planning project, or the

2 mentation of a local government efficiency project, shall not exceed
3 twelve thousand five hundred dollars per municipality; provided, howev-
4 er, that in no event shall such a planning project receive a grant award
5 in excess of one hundred thousand dollars.

7 cost of activities under the grant work plan approved by the department
8 of state shall be required for planning grants, and local matching funds
9 equal to at least ten percent of the total cost of activities under the

13 planning grant funded under the local government efficiency grant
14 program or the shared municipal services incentive grant program, the
15 local matching funds required shall be reduced by the local matching
16 funds required by such successfully completed planning grant up to the
17 amount of local matching funds required for the implementation grant.
18 (vii) In the selection of grant awards, the secretary of state shall
19 give the highest priority to applications: (1) that would result in the
20 dissolution or consolidation of municipalities; (2) that would implement
21 the complete functional consolidation of a municipal service; or (3) by
22 local governments with historically high costs of local government or
23 sustained increases in property taxes. Priority will also be given to
24 municipalities that have previously completed a planning grant pursuant
25 to this program or the shared municipal services incentive grant
26 program, and to local governments currently involved in regional devel-
27 opment projects that have received funds through state community and
28 infrastructure development programs.
29 (viii) Within one week of the receipt of an application, the depart-
30 ment of state shall review the application to ensure the applicant has
31 filed the correct application, and to determine if any required sections
32 of the application contain no information. Within one business day of
33 determining an applicant has filed an incorrect application, or deter-
34 mining an application contains no information in a section required to
35 contain information, the department shall so notify the applicant.
36 Applicants shall be permitted to amend an application found to be miss-
37 ing information, and such application shall be reconsidered for approval
38 if it is amended by the application deadline. If an applicant has
39 submitted an incorrect application, the applicant may submit the correct
40 application to the appropriate program by the deadline for such program
41 for consideration. Under no circumstances shall this subparagraph be
42 deemed to require the extension of any application deadline established
43 by the department, nor shall it obligate the department to conduct a
44 substantive review of the contents of any application outside of the
45 procedures established by the department for the purposes of maintaining
46 the competitive integrity of the grant program.
47 (ix) Written notice shall be provided to an applicant of a decision
48 regarding the grant or denial of an award under this paragraph, within
