Funding Match Guidelines
Funding Match (often referred to as cost share) consists of non-State funds, including in-kind services. In-kind services are defined as work performed (i.e., dollar value of non-cash contributions) by the Funding Recipient (and potentially other parties) directly related to the execution of the funded project. Examples include volunteer services, equipment use, and use of facilities. The cost of in-kind service can be counted as funding match in-lieu of actual funds (or revenue) provide by the Funding Recipient. Other funding match and in-kind service eligibility conditions may apply. Provided below is guidance for documenting funding match with and without in-kind services.
1. Although tracked separately, in-kind services shall be documented and, to the extent feasible, supported by the same methods used by the Funding Recipient for its own employees. Such documentation should include the following:
a. Detailed description of the contributed item(s) or service(s) b. Purpose for which the contribution was made (tied to project work plan) c. Name of contributing organization and date of contribution d. Real or approximate value of contribution. Who valued the contribution and how was the value determined? (e.g., actual, appraisal, fair market value, etc.). Justification of rate. (See item #2, below)
e. Person’s name and the function of the contributing person f. Number of hours contributed
g. If multiple sources exist, these should be summarized on a table with summed charges Agreement Number 46000#####
h. Source of contribution if it was provided by, obtained with, or supported by government funds
2. Rates for volunteer or in-kind services shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the Funding Recipient’s organization. For example, volunteer service of clearing vegetation performed by an attorney shall be valued at a fair market value for this service, not the rate for professional legal services. In those instances, in which the required skills are not found in the recipient organization, rates shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the labor market. Paid fringe benefits that are reasonable, allowable and allocable may be included in the valuation.
3. Funding match contribution (including in kind services) shall be for costs and services directly attributed to activities included in the Funding Agreement. These services, furnished by professional and technical personnel, consultants, and other skilled and unskilled labor may be counted as in-kind if the activities are an integral and necessary part of the project funded by the Funding Agreement.
4. Cash contributions made to the Project shall be documented as revenue and in -kind services as expenditure. These costs should be tracked separately in the Funding Recipient ’s accounting system.

This issue required increased diligence since state agencies often utilize non-profit organizations to quickly acquire sensitive-habitat parcels using Option Agreements. However, due to confidentiality clauses, the terms of the Option are often not disclosed to the state. If the appraiser discovers evidence of an Option or the possible existence of an Option, and the terms cannot be disclosed due to a confidentiality clause, then the appraiser is to cease work and contact the client.
13. Regional, area, and neighborhood analyses. This information may be presented in a summary format.

Exhibit A
WORK PLAN
Florin Creek Study & Pomegranate Localized Flood Control (as an example purpose only, not specific)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Florin Creek area has historically been vulnerable to flooding during large storms and high-water events. The January 1995 storm event resulted in 162 flooding complaints in the area some of which included structural damage. Immediately following the 1995 event the City studied the impacted drainage basin to determine how to achieve 10-year and 100-year flood protection. The City along with regional, state, and federal partners have completed a combination of mitigation activities to enhanced flood protection in the area. The activities include detention basins, channel improvements, flood walls, upsized storm drainpipes, and pump installation. Through this work much of the floodplain has been eliminated, however due to incomplete modeling capabilities and the need for one more small local flood control project, the City is incapable of removing the final 80 homes impacted by the 1% annual chance storm from the Special Flood Hazard Area.
This project is a two-step approached to eliminate the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) in the Florin Creek neighborhoods. The first step of this process would be to update an old 1998 hydraulic and hydrologic model. An 881-acre drainage basin, known as the City’s Basin 67, will be modeled.
The model will include additional flood control measures that have been added to the basin since 1995 and will be completed in compliance with FEMA requirements. The second step is a flood control project that consist of the construction of a 12 ft3/s (firm) pump station at Center Parkway near Florin Creek and a 24-inch pipe in Center Parkway from Pomegranate Avenue to the pump station.
This pump station and pipe would reduce the 100-year flood elevations in the Pomegranate Avenue area and eliminate the last of structural flooding and floodplain in the area. The flood control project is based on the original 1998 hydraulic model; however, this model does not meet the current FEMA guidelines for interior drainage modeling and prevents the City from amending its Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) to reflect the correct floodplain.

Funding Match Guidelines
Funding Match (often referred to as cost share) consists of non-State funds, including in-kind services. In-kind services are defined as work performed (i.e., dollar value of non-cash contributions) by the Funding Recipient (and potentially other parties) directly related to the execution of the funded project. Examples include volunteer services, equipment use, and use of facilities. The cost of in-kind service can be counted as funding match in-lieu of actual funds (or revenue) provide by the Funding Recipient. Other funding match and in-kind service eligibility conditions may apply. Provided below is guidance for documenting funding match with and without in-kind services.
1. Although tracked separately, in-kind services shall be documented and, to the extent feasible, supported by the same methods used by the Funding Recipient for its own employees. Such documentation should include the following:
a. Detailed description of the contributed item(s) or service(s) b. Purpose for which the contribution was made (tied to project work plan) c. Name of contributing organization and date of contribution d. Real or approximate value of contribution. Who valued the contribution and how was the value determined? (e.g., actual, appraisal, fair market value, etc.). Justification of rate. (See item #2, below)
e. Person’s name and the function of the contributing person f. Number of hours contributed
g. If multiple sources exist, these should be summarized on a table with summed charges Agreement Number 46000#####
h. Source of contribution if it was provided by, obtained with, or supported by government funds
2. Rates for volunteer or in-kind services shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the Funding Recipient’s organization. For example, volunteer service of clearing vegetation performed by an attorney shall be valued at a fair market value for this service, not the rate for professional legal services. In those instances, in which the required skills are not found in the recipient organization, rates shall be consistent with those paid for similar work in the labor market. Paid fringe benefits that are reasonable, allowable and allocable may be included in the valuation.
3. Funding match contribution (including in kind services) shall be for costs and services directly attributed to activities included in the Funding Agreement. These services, furnished by professional and technical personnel, consultants, and other skilled and unskilled labor may be counted as in-kind if the activities are an integral and necessary part of the project funded by the Funding Agreement.
4. Cash contributions made to the Project shall be documented as revenue and in -kind services as expenditure. These costs should be tracked separately in the Funding Recipient ’s accounting system.

Appraisals for a total compensation of $150,000 or more shall be reported as a Self-Contained Appraisal Report. Appraisals for a total compensation of less than $150,000 may be reported as a Summary Appraisal Report, which includes all information necessary to arrive at the appraiser’s conclusion. Appraisal Specifications 14, 16, 21, 23-25, and 28 shall be narrative analysis regardless of the reporting format.

12. Discussion of any current Agreement of Sale, option, or listing of subject property. This issue required increased diligence since state agencies often utilize non-profit organizations to quickly acquire sensitive-habitat parcels using Option Agreements. However, due to confidentiality clauses, the terms of the Option are often not disclosed to the state. If the appraiser discovers evidence of an Option or the possible existence of an Option, and the terms cannot be disclosed due to a confidentiality clause, then the appraiser is to cease work and contact the client.
13. Regional, area, and neighborhood analyses. This information may be presented in a summary format.
14. Market conditions and trends including identification of the relevant market area, a discussion of supply and demand within the relevant market area, and a discussion of the relevant market factors impacting demand for site acquisition and leasing within the relevant market area.
