[lstac] [External] Spending LSTA allotment in 2nd year of federal fiscal year

Thu Jun 5 10:14:30 PDT 2025

Same in OK. We spend a very small amount in the first year and more in the second. Our fiscal year is July 1 – June 30, so it is hard to plan spending in the first nine months of the first year without knowing our allotment well before the federal fiscal year starts. And then if we don’t know our allotment until April, that only leaves three months before our new state fiscal year.

Best,

Hello Karren,

We do the same here in Georgia. We spend small amounts when it is awarded, but the majority is spent in the second year. It has been in practice for us since before my arrival. I hope this helps!

Thank you. We spend small amounts in the year before, but our fiscal year matches the federal so for MOE/Match accounting, we’ve done nearly all spending the 2nd year. I just wasn’t sure after doing it this way for years, if that was the only reason.

Good morning!

We also only spend the 2nd year of the award, but it’s just been the procedure here for (what feels like) forever.  I wasn’t aware that IMLS had told us to do it that way, though, since other states spend in both years of the award.

Can anyone point to a 2 CFR 200 rule or IMLS documentation on why we use the funds in the 2nd year of the federal fiscal year.  This morning, I am coming up blank other than that’s what IMLS tells us to do. Back to the coffee pot.
