G. Environmental Compliance. The Parties agree to satisfy all requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and that for each project assisted with NSP funds the Lead Entity will be responsible for compliance purposes. H. Policy Adoption. The Parties have adopted and are enforcing the following policies within their respective jurisdictions: 1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and, 2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location, which is the subject of such non- violent civil rights demonstrations within jurisdictions. I. No Veto Authority. During the term of this Agreement, the Subrecipients may not veto or otherwise obstruct the Lead Entity's implementation of the approved State NSP application during the period covered by the Lead Entity's NSP agreement with the State J. Written Agreement. Pursuant to 24 CFR 570.501(b), the Parties are subject to the same requirements applicable to CDBG subrecipients, including the requirement of a written agreement as described in 24 CFR 570.503 IV. DISTRIBUTION OF LOCAL NSP FUNDS The Parties agree that the Lead Entity shall be the direct grant recipient of all the Local NSP Funds to be allocated to the Participating Public Jurisdictions. Subrecipients shall participate in the Lead Entity's NSP program and shall apply to the Lead Entity for a grant of Local NSP Funds. The Lead Entity shall evaluate each Subrecipient's grant application and based upon eligibility, the Lead Entity shall allocate the Local NSP Funds to the Subrecipient by written agreement as described in 24 CFR 570.501(b) and 24 CFR 570.503 to perform Activities consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Lead Entity's CDBG Program. The Lead Entity shall not unreasonably withhold the allocation of Local NSP Funds. The Lead Entity shall likewise apply and execute an agreement for the grant of any Local NSP Funds for eligible projects and activities it intends to perform in its jurisdiction. Each Participating Public Jurisdiction is eligible to apply to the Lead Entity to receive that portion of the Local NSP Funds it was determined to be eligible for by HCD, less 5% for administration which shall be delivered to the Lead Entity. However, a Participating Public Jurisdiction does not need to apply to the Lead Entity if that jurisdiction does not want to receive or use any Local NSP Funds. However, the Participating Public Jurisdictions shall only be entitled to that portion of the Local NSP Funds commensurate with the Activities provided and approved by the Lead Entity, and the Lead Entity shall only make payments for those Activities that comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and are in compliance with the regulations of the CDBG Entitlement Program Regulations, 24 CFR Part 570. However, in the event a Subrecipient does not utilize the full amount of its eligibility for Local NSP Funds, the unused amount of its eligibility shall be used by the Lead Entity or granted to another Subrecipient for use consistent with the California NSP Program and this Agreement.
