22 Community Development Grants Program Manager within nine (9) months of the end of any
23 District fiscal year in which funds were expended and/or received for the Project. Failure to perform
24 the requisite audit functions as required by this paragraph may result in the County performing any
25 necessary audit tasks or, at the County's option, the County contracting with a public accountant
26 to perform the audit. All audit costs related to the District's failure to perform the requisite audit are
27 the sole responsibility of the District, and such audit work costs incurred by the County shall be
28 billed to the District, as determined by County's Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector. In the
