ASBs will continue to receive the same amount of funding for the Legislative Funding
Stream that they received for the 2012 and 2013 years of the previous grant cycle. The
funding for the 2011-2013 grant cycle was originally allocated using the following formula:
·
Municipalities with a 2010 grant payment < $150,000 receive the highest grant
payment made in the 2008-2010 years. Grant payment is not to exceed $150,000
·
Municipalities with a 2010 grant payment > $150,000 automatically receive $150,000
·
If there is surplus grant funding, it will be divided at the discretion of the Minister
The ASB Grant Program received an additional $1.0 million in funding for the Legislative
Funding Stream in 2013. This funding was equally divided between the 70 ASBs for 2012
and 2013. ASBs will receive the same amount of Legislative Funding Stream dollars that
they received in 2012 and 2013 for the 2014-2016 Legislative Funding Stream component
of the program.
The Environmental Funding Stream will be allocated using a merit based with minimum
process. This is a competitive process where applications will be reviewed, evaluated and
ranked by an unbiased, third party committee. This committee will make funding
recommendations to the Minister for approval and allocation of funds for the
Environmental Funding Stream. All applications will be initially reviewed to determine if
they meet the basic criteria outlined in the grant application form. Those applications that
meet the basic application criteria will receive $15,000 for Environmental Funding Stream
Basic. Applications that request more than $15,000 will be further reviewed by the
Committee and ranked according to their merit. The highest ranked applications will be
recommended to the Minister for Environmental Funding Stream Enhanced.
