agreement during the grant period. For purposes of ESG, program income will also include any amount of a security or utility deposit returned to the SUBRECIPIENT, (2) Use. The SUBRECIPIENT shall use all income received from said funds only for the same purposes for which said funds may be expended pursuant to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. (3) Courts toward Matching. Costs paid by program income may count toward meeting the matching requirements, provided the costs are eligible ESG costs that supplement the program. H. Separation of Accounts All funds received by the SUBRECIPIENT from the CITY pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be maintained separate and apart from any other funds of the SUBRECIPIENT, or of any principal or member of the SUBRECIPIENT, in an account (the "Account') at a federally insured banking or savings and loan institution with record keeping of such Accounts maintained pursuant to applicable legal requirements. The SUBRECIPIENT shall keep all records of the Account in a manner that is consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. No monies shall be withdrawn from the Account except for expenditures relating to essential services, homeless prevention, and/or operations costs, as authorized hereunder. All disbursements from the Account shall be for obligations incurred in the performance of this AGREEMENT and shall be supported by contracts, invoices, vouchers, and other data, as appropriate, evidencing the necessity of such expenditure. The CITY may withhold payment allocation requests if the SUBRECIPIENT fails to comply with the above requirements until such compliance is demonstrated. I. Expenditure of Funds Mitch like how HUD requires the CITY, pursuant to 24 CFR 576.203, to expend all of the grant funds for eligible activity costs within 24 months after the date that HUD signs the grant agreement with the CITY, it is a requirement for the SUBRECIPIENT to expend all of the grant funds for eligible activity costs within the aforementioned period. For the purposes of this paragraph, expenditure means either an actual cash disbursement for a direct charge for a good/service or an indirect cost, or the accrual of a direct charge for a good/service or an indirect cost. Failure to expend said funds within said timeframe can result in a reallocation of funds. J. Prohibited Use (1) Generally. The SUBRECIPIENT hereby certifies and agrees that it will not use fimds provided through this AGREEMENT to pay for meals for persons other than those identified as homeless or at risk of homelessness. Said funds shall not be used for entertainment purposes or for gifts. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies that it will not use said funds for illegal or dishonest conduct, rather, fund use will remain in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including applicable laws not outlined in this AGREEMENT. (2) Lobbying. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies and agrees that it will comply with federal law (31 U.S.C. 1352) and regulations found at 24 CFR Part 87, which provide that no appropriated funds may be expended by the recipient of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement to pay any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, Member of Congress, or an officer or employee of a Member of Congress in connection with awarding of any federal contract, the making of any federal grant or loan, entering into any cooperative agreement and the extension, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT shall sign a certification to that effect in a form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The SUBRECIPIENT shall submit said signed certification to the CITY prior to performing any of its obligations under this AGREEMENT and prior to any obligation arising on the part of the CITY to pay any sums to the SUBRECIPIENT under the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit a "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions (see Exhibit D).
