641—24.10 (135) Multicounty grant applications. Two or more counties may join together to apply for a grant. However, for the purposes of multicounty grant programs, the department will accept only one application from the counties involved. The application shall identify the lead county responsible for administering the grant. For multicounty programs, the department will make one grant to the lead county and not to each individual participating county. However, each county represented in the grant application will receive an equal distribution of dollars.
