Cost Sharing by Divisions

• Budget language and legislative action have
  increased the local share of payment for this
  program. Divisions participating are now
  required to pay 25 percent of the cost of the
  study, 25 percent of internal direct costs to be
  reimbursed, plus an additional 25 percent of each
  if certain implementation targets are not met.
• All divisions who owe a cost share of their
  studies have been notified of the amount due and
  the date due.
• Local financial obligation has resulted in some
  localities seeking more local control of the
  process, protocols, and selection of consultants.
