PURPOSE
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered into by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Corona Police Department (“Grantee”), for the purpose of disbursing grant funds to Grantee for reimbursement of expenditures in compliance with the California Code of Regulations and the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Grantee Handbook.
Commencing January 1, 2023, the California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 1, Chapter 5:
Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program (“TGP Regulations”) shall govern the policies and procedures of the Tobacco Grant Program.
The TGP Regulations, Request for Proposals, Grantee Handbook (dated April 2025), and Summary of Award document are hereby incorporated by reference into this MOU. Grantee will expend funds for the purposes identified in the approved Summary of Award document. Reimbursements are to be funded under the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016, approved by the voters as Proposition 56.
COST REIMBURSEMENT
DOJ agrees to reimburse Grantee in arrears, for Grantee’s actual expenditures in performing the project or scope of work included in the approved Summary of Award document. Reimbursements for line items in the approved Budget Detail will be made upon receipt of invoices from Grantee and approval of the invoices by DOJ, in accordance with the reimbursement procedures set forth in the TGP Regulations and Grantee Handbook.
BUDGET CONTINGENCY CLAUSE
It is mutually agreed, if the Budget Act of the current fiscal year and/or any subsequent years covered under the MOU does not appropriate sufficient funds, the MOU shall be of no further force and effect.
In the event this situation occurs, DOJ shall have no liability to reimburse/pay any funds to Grantee, or to furnish any other considerations under this MOU. As well, Grantee shall not be obligated to continue performing the provisions of this MOU, for which the Grantee would have been reimbursed.
If funding for any fiscal year is reduced or deleted in the Budget Act for purposes of this MOU, DOJ shall have the option to either cancel this MOU with no liability occurring to DOJ or offer an addendum to the Grantee to reflect the reduced amount.
