25 such payment impair or prejudice any remedy available to the COUNTY with respect to the breach or
26 default. The COUNTY shall have the right to demand of the SUBRECIPIENT the repayment to the

6 A. The parties understand that funding for this Agreement is SLFRF provided pursuant to

8 SUBRECIPIENT, and SUBRECIPIENT agrees to receive such grants, up to the total SLFRF grant, in an
9 amount not to exceed twenty thousand dollars ($20,000).
10 It is expressly agreed and understood that the total amount of SLFRF to be granted by COUNTY to
11 SUBRECIPIENT for the Program shall not exceed twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), which will provide
12 funding assistance to address the negative economic impacts of the pandemic so the SUBRECIPIENT
13 may purchase liability insurance, supplies and material needed to adequately maintain, replace items, and
14 renovate the interior and exterior areas at Center in preparation for the return of its annual Festival.
15 SUBRECIPIENT shall submit written payment requests for the payment of eligible necessary

22 the COUNTY to cover eligible expenditures in support of the Program. The payment requests from
23 SUBRECIPIENT to the COUNTY shall also be accompanied by a written certification from the
24 SUBRECIPIENT that the request for payment is consistent with the amount of work scheduled to be
25 performed or materials to be purchased with the amount of funding being requested from the COUNTY,
26 and that said payment request is in accordance with the Program, Table 1-1 of Exhibit B of this
27 Agreement. After appropriate review and inspection of the first payment request, the COUNTY shall make
28 the first payment available to SUBRECIPIENT in a timely manner. After the first request, SUBRECIPIENT
15
1 may make additional subsequent payment requests to the COUNTY on a 60-day basis (every 60 days) for
2 eligible expenditures to be funded with the remaining balance of the Program's budget, in accordance with
3 this Agreement.
4 SUBRECIPIENT must work to minimize the time between the request from the COUNTY and the
5 disbursement of funds to meet the Program needs. SUBRECIPIENT is responsible for monitoring the
6 Program's cash flow needs and submitting reimbursement requests to COUNTY in a timely manner to
7 assure adequate coverage of Program needs. It is understood that all expenses incidental to
8 SUBRECIPIENT's performance of services in carrying out its Program under this Agreement shall be
9 borne by SUBRECIPIENT.

11 located at 2281 Tulare, Room 304, Fresno, CA 93721, or electronically, to e-mail address

13 the preceding period of time, within forty-five (45) days from date of receipt, verification, and approval of
14 SUBRECIPIENT's invoice and supporting documentation by COUNTY. If SUBRECIPIENT fails to comply
15 with any provision of this Agreement, COUNTY shall be relieved of its obligations for further compensation.

17 additional supporting documentation or clarification of claimed expenses as follows:
18 i. COUNTY staff shall notify SUBRECIPIENT to obtain necessary additional

24 disallowed, and only the allowed expenses shall be paid.
25 iv. SUBRECIPIENT may resubmit disallowed expenses as a supplemental invoice
26 only, and must be accompanied by required documentation.
27 C. All expenses incidental to SUBRECIPIENT'S performance of services in carrying out
28 its Program under this Agreement shall be borne by SUBRECIPIENT. Except as expressly provided in this

2 consideration, compensation, salary, wages, or other type of remuneration for services rendered under

4 any payments made by COUNTY to SUBRECIPIENT under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

14 function. However, COUNTY shall retain the right to administer this Agreement so as to verify that
15 SUBRECIPIENT is performing its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
16 SUBRECIPIENT and COUNTY shall comply with all applicable provisions of law and the rules and
17 regulations, if any, of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over all matters subject thereto.
18 Because of its status as an independent contractor, SUBRECIPIENT shall have absolutely no right
19 to employment rights and benefits available to COUNTY employees. SUBRECIPIENT shall be solely liable
20 and responsible for providing to, or on behalf of, its employees all legally-required employee benefits. In
21 addition, SUBRECIPIENT shall be solely responsible and save COUNTY harmless from all matters relating
22 to payment of SUBRECIPIENT'S employees, including compliance with Social Security withholding and all

Exhibit A
Program Description
The SUBRECIPIENT represents that it is a nonprofit organization that holds events, social
gatherings, and meetings for residents of the eastern Fresno County communities, including hosting
Mono Indian Tribal meetings, American Legion meetings, weddings, and funerals. For over 40 years, it
has held the Festival, a social event in Dunlap that draws approximately 200 to 250 visitors to the area
and provides significant revenue for local small businesses and also provides revenue for the
SUBRECIPIENT. The SUBRECIPIENT represents that its 2020, 2021, and 2022 Festivals and other
fundraising events were completely cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in
unprecedented financial losses for the SUBRECIPIENT.
The provision of SLFRF to SUBRECIPIENT under this Agreement is intended to respond to the
negative economic impact to the tourism, travel, and hospitality industry, and to support a strong and
equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn, by providing funding
assistance to purchase liability insurance, supplies and material needed to adequately maintain,
replace, and renovate interior and exterior areas at the Dunlap Community Center. The SUBRECIPIENT
represents that work scheduled to be performed to implement the Program is expected to be performed
by licensed individuals who will volunteer their time to help the SUBRECIPIENT make repairs,
alterations, maintenance work, or installations that will help improve the Dunlap Community Center. The
Program is expected to be complete within eight months. Once complete, the SUBRECIPIENT intends
to resume holding its annual Festival, which will again bring much-needed travel and tourism revenue to
the Dunlap area and its local businesses.

budget. Payment requests shall detail purchase orders, receipts, and reimbursement requests, detailing

ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH CIVIL RIGHTS REQUIREMENTS

F-6
As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance from the Department of the Treasury, the
Subrecipient provides the assurances stated herein. The federal financial assistance may include federal
grants, loans, and contracts to provide assistance to the Subrecipient's beneficiaries, the use or rent of
Federal land or property at below market value, Federal training, a loan of Federal personnel, subsidies,
and other arrangements with the intention of providing assistance. Federal financial assistance does not
encompass contracts of guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses, procurement contracts by
the Federal government at market value, or programs that provide direct benefits.
The assurances apply to all federal financial assistance from, or funds made available through the
Department of the Treasury, including any assistance that the Subrecipient may request in the future.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the assurances apply to all of
the operations of the Subrecipient's program(s) and activity(ies), so long as any portion of the
Subrecipient's program(s) or activity(ies) is federally assisted in the manner prescribed above.
1. Subrecipient ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
as amended, which prohibits exclusion from participation, denial of the benefits of, or subjection to
discrimination under programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, of any person in
the United States on the ground of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as
implemented by the Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other
pertinent executive orders such as Executive Order 13166, directives, circulars, policies,
memoranda, and/or guidance documents.
2. Subrecipient acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons
with Limited English Proficiency," seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and
activities for individuals who, because of national origin, have Limited English proficiency(LEP).
Subrecipient understands that denying a person access to its programs, services, and activities
because of LEP is a form of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 and the Department of the Treasury's implementing regulations. Accordingly,
Subrecipient shall initiate reasonable steps, or comply with the Department of the Treasury's
F-7
directives, to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to its programs, services, and
activities. Subrecipient understands and agrees that meaningful access may entail providing
language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation where necessary,
to ensure effective communication in the Subrecipient's programs, services, and activities.
3. Subrecipient agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons when Subrecipient
develops applicable budgets and conducts programs, services, and activities. As a resource, the
Department of the Treasury has published its LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information
on taking reasonable steps to provide meaningful access for LEP persons, please visit
http://www.lep.gov.
4. Subrecipient acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the assurances constitutes a condition
of continued receipt of federal financial assistance and is binding upon Subrecipient and
Subrecipient's successors, transferees, and assignees for the period in which such assistance is
provided.
5. Subrecipient acknowledges and agrees that it must require any sub-grantees, contractors,
subcontractors, successors, transferees, and assignees to comply with assurances 1-4 above, and
agrees to incorporate the following language in every contract or agreement subject to Title VI and
its regulations between the Subrecipient and the Subrecipient's sub-grantees, contractors,
subcontractors, successors, transferees, and assignees:
The sub-grantee, contractor, subcontractor, successor, transferee, and assignee shall
comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits subrecipients of federal
financial assistance from excluding from a program or activity, denying benefits of, or
otherwise discriminating against a person on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42
U.S.C. §2000d et seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury's Title VI
regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of
this contract(or agreement). Title Vl also includes protection to persons with "Limited
English Proficiency"in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, 42
U.S.C. §2000d et seq., as implemented by the Department of the Treasury's Title VI
F-8
regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this
contract or agreement.
6. Subrecipient understands and agrees that if any real property or structure is provided or improved
with the aid of federal financial assistance by the Department of the Treasury, this assurance
obligates the Subrecipient, or in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period
during which the real property or structure is used for a purpose for which the federal financial
assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits.
If any personal property is provided, this assurance obligates the Subrecipient for the period during
which it retains ownership or possession of the property.
7. Subrecipient shall cooperate in any enforcement or compliance review activities by the Department
of the Treasury of the aforementioned obligations. Enforcement may include investigation,
arbitration, mediation, litigation, and monitoring of any settlement agreements that may result from
these actions. The Subrecipient shall comply with information requests, on-site compliance reviews
and reporting requirements.
8. Subrecipient shall maintain a complaint log and inform the Department of the Treasury of any
complaints of discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, and limited English
proficiency covered by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and implementing regulations and
provide, upon request, a list of all such reviews or proceedings based on the complaint, pending or
completed, including outcome. Subrecipient also must inform the Department of the Treasury if
Subrecipient has received no complaints under Title VI.
9. Subrecipient must provide documentation of an administrative agency's or court's findings of non-
compliance of Title VI and efforts to address the non-compliance, including any voluntary
compliance or other agreements between the Subrecipient and the administrative agency that
made the finding. If the Subrecipient settles a case or matter alleging such discrimination, the
Subrecipient must provide documentation of the settlement. If Subrecipient has not been the subject
of any court or administrative agency finding of discrimination, please so state.
10. If the Subrecipient makes sub-awards to other agencies or other entities, the Subrecipient is
responsible for ensuring that sub-recipients also comply with Title VI and other applicable
F-9
authorities covered in this document. State agencies that make sub-awards must have in place
standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively
monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.
The United States of America has the right to seek judicial enforcement of the terms of this assurances
document, and nothing in this document alters or limits the federal enforcement measures that the United
States may take in order to address violations of this document or applicable federal law.
