Funds shall be distributed by the State Architect in the following manner:
(a)Upon receipt of an application by a local government for a grant pursuant to this article, the office or the State Architect may propose improvements to the project which will meet regional needs in a cost-effective manner. These improvements may include, but need not be limited to, structural strengthening, hardening of communication equipment, providing emergency power equipment, and other capital improvements which can be demonstrated as part of an emergency response plan which has a description of the critical facilities needed to support emergency response. The office, the State Architect, and the applicant may agree to include these capital improvements in the grant.
(b)In coordination with the Seismic Safety Commission and the office, and with the input of the potentially eligible local governments, the State Architect, consistent with Section 8878.90, shall establish a priority list of the types of potentially eligible local government buildings and facilities which are eligible to receive a state grant pursuant to this article.
(c)After completion of the priority list, the State Architect shall present this list of potentially eligible local government buildings and facilities to the Department of Finance for its review and consideration of whether to recommend to the Governor to include this list in the Budget Bill or other legislative proposal. The Legislature may review and appropriate funds available under this bond act for specific projects on the list which it deems appropriate.
(d)The State Architect shall allocate funds to local governments for the seismic retrofit of buildings or facilities based upon projects and appropriations approved in the Budget Bill or some other bill by the Legislature as provided in this section. Payments shall be made on a progress basis.
