a. Evaluation and approval or denial of grant applications in accordance with the criteria developed by the department for grants for local waste tire management programs.
b. Allocation of grant moneys from the waste tire management fund created in section 455D.11C to boards of supervisors of participating counties or to designees of each board including, but not limited to, public or private entities for which a grant is approved for use in establishing and administering local waste tire management programs.
2. Moneys, if available from the waste tire management fund, shall be used in the waste tire management program in the following amounts: for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, seven hundred thousand dollars; for each fiscal year during the fiscal period beginning July 1, 1997, and ending June 30, 2001, one million dollars; and for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001, seven hundred thousand dollars.
3. The department shall approve or deny grant applications submitted by boards of supervisors of participating counties.
a. Grant moneys shall be allocated to a participating county based upon the population of the county as documented in the 1990 census as follows:
(1) Participating counties with populations of less than sixty thousand shall each be allocated grant moneys not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars.
(2) Participating counties with populations of sixty thousand but less than one hundred ten thousand shall each be allocated grant moneys not to exceed thirty thousand dollars.

b. The program shall require that boards of supervisors of participating counties submit an annual application for participation by August 14. Applications shall be approved or denied by October 1, in accordance with the criteria developed by the department, and moneys shall be allocated by January 1 of the subsequent year.
c. Grant moneys shall be allocated to the board of supervisors of a participating county for which an application has been approved for the establishment and implementation of local waste tire management programs.
d. Each county participating in the grant program shall designate a site or sites for the collection of waste tires, which shall accept waste tires without charge in accordance with local waste tire management programs.
e. Each county participating in the grant program is encouraged to promote local waste tire management programs, to encourage nonprofit organization and private entity participation, and to generate local funding for supplementation of the grant moneys awarded. The board of supervisors of a participating county or designees of the board may establish limitations regarding the numbers and types of waste tires collected and the entities from which a site is required to accept waste tires.
f. Each board of supervisors of a participating county shall submit an annual report to the department which shall include an itemization of expenditures, a report of the volume of waste tires collected, and recommendations for improvement in the grant program and other information requested by the department in the grant application form.
g. Moneys which are not expended but which are encumbered at the end of each year may be retained by the county if the county submits an application for continued grant approval. If a county does not receive continued approval of local waste tire management programs and unexpended and unencumbered moneys remain, the county shall remit the moneys to the treasurer of state for deposit in the waste tire management fund.
