you're going to be dealing with
[126]
invoices with proof of payment and
[128]
you'll have a signed sub-grant agreement
[130]
but that comes up later
[132]
the activities that i am going to show
[134]
in this demo start with the grant
[136]
summary
[137]
we'll look at the grant application form
[139]
and i'll do some data
[140]
entry right in front of you not very
[142]
interesting
[144]
i'll do a quick look at the cost
[146]
estimate process
[147]
we'll look at the grant scorecard the
[149]
document upload process
[151]
the grant application completion and
[154]
then
[154]
the grant application submission i'm
[157]
going to go log into tempest gems and
[159]
that is the next thing that you'll see
[161]
after logging in with tempest gems which
[164]
is available on any browser
[166]
as long as you have the internet you're
[168]
going to land on this grant selector
[170]
page
[171]
which is under the grants menu what you
[174]
should see
[175]
is that the cdbg the vermont community
[178]
block grant is highlighted in green
[180]
it is selected the first thing that we
[183]
are going to do
[184]
is go ahead and edit this grant i'm
[186]
going to click on the pencil
[191]
some information is in a read-only
[194]
fashion this
[197]
is brattleboro development credit
[198]
corporation which is one of the sponsors
[200]
of this grant but it does allow me to
[202]
use this data
[203]
with real uh this process with real data
[207]
they had previously provided their
[208]
business
[210]
mailing and physical address
[214]
and i'm going to put in a statement of
[217]
harm
[221]
customer customers were
[224]
not buying our services
[228]
during the shut down
[231]
that sort of thing you write your own
[233]
impact statement and how
[235]
how covet 19 has impacted you i'm going
[238]
to come back to this how much do you
[239]
need
[240]
in a minute this is based off of the
[242]
estimates
[243]
here um okay
[246]
so um as mentioned in the previous
[250]
videos
[250]
and in the pre-application and in the
[252]
instructions from the state of vermont
[254]
you need to have your tax returns
[258]
ready to go and a profit and loss and
[260]
balance sheet
[261]
for the first quarter of 2020
[265]
so we're going to put in some revenue
[267]
numbers
[271]
just as they are
[279]
and then did we receive any small
[282]
business administration loan this year
[285]
for purposes of this training demo i'm
[289]
going to say that we did receive five
[290]
thousand dollars
[291]
um we did not receive a loan
[295]
we did not get any of that we did not
[297]
get any fema funding
[300]
we did not get any private financing for
[303]
loans and there were no charitable
[305]
donations
[308]
it is against federal law to receive
[311]
money from two separate federal grants
[314]
for the same activity that is called
[317]
duplication of benefits
[319]
so as long as your grant application
[321]
discloses
[322]
where grant monies and other public
[324]
monies have come into your business
[327]
you remain perfectly clean
[330]
okay so
[334]
these numbers represent the numbers
[336]
above um
[338]
we are going to build
[342]
uh plexi
[346]
glass walls between
[349]
um service personnel
[353]
and customers something along that um
[361]
this will continue to protect
[365]
our staff and our
[369]
customers for a long time
[372]
to come nice typing job
[376]
okay we are not a cannabis related
[379]
business
[380]
we are not owned by a person under the
[382]
age of 18.
[383]
we are not a franchise or a um
[386]
a chain we do not sell weapons or
[389]
firearms
[390]
we are not i am not a lobbyist and um
[395]
this business this sole proprietorship
[397]
is not an independent consultant
[399]
working as a um billing only a single
[402]
entity
[404]
then what we're going to do is we are
[405]
going to affirm a number of these facts
[407]
we will read these things carefully
[410]
the blue links provide
[413]
more information about the policies that
[416]
you're accepting
[421]
it is important that you recognize and
[424]
acknowledge
[424]
each of these uh statements
[428]
failure to comply with these can have
[430]
some consequences for you so i'm going
[432]
to click agree
[433]
on that and
[436]
[Music]
[437]
we're going to release some of your
[439]
information
[441]
you read this very carefully you agree
[443]
and there is a fourth certification here
[449]
now there is some instructions here
[451]
which we've also emphasized
[452]
in the video when you upload documents
[455]
these are the documents that are
[457]
required we really really do want you to
[460]
black out or redact the
[464]
social security number okay i'm going to
[467]
save
[468]
this information
[471]
and just to follow up on the estimates
[476]
we have three items here for costs that
[479]
we didn't um get recovery for so to add
[482]
an estimate i'm just going to put this
[483]
in here
[484]
and plexi glass
[488]
materials and labor
[495]
using a local contractor and
[499]
retail will buy
[502]
that we're just going to do one and it's
[505]
going to be just sort of an each thing
[507]
for the purpose of this
[508]
um
[509]
[Music]
[512]
one lump sum at five thousand dollars
[518]
so your cost estimates related to this
[521]
uh grant process go in here now
[524]
this is a demonstration i'm just doing
[526]
some quick training so these don't
[528]
necessarily make sense for your world
[530]
you do your information and you do it
[533]
accurately
[535]
okay i'm going to step in and take a
[536]
look at the scorecard
[538]
the scorecard is intended to give you
[540]
feedback on
[542]
the process green check marks are good
[545]
red x's are bad so what is missing here
[549]
we do not yet have a state issued photo
[552]
id
[553]
we don't yet have the family income
[555]
statement and the tax returns
[557]
so let's go upload the documents that i
[559]
do have
[561]
i'm going to go to documents i'm going
[563]
to upload a document
[565]
i'm going to choose a file and i'm going
[568]
to go
[568]
pick the front of my fake driver's
[571]
license
[573]
and this is seymour
[576]
driver's license
[580]
it seems like having a name is a little
[582]
redundant because we've already
[583]
identified that as a photo id
[585]
but we use the name in case there's some
[587]
duplicates or some other descriptive
[589]
that's needed for that
[590]
so i'm going to save this will be
[592]
uploaded to the cloud
[593]
for accd to review
[598]
it tells me that it's here i can
[600]
download it
[603]
anytime anybody has edited or reviewed
[606]
this
[606]
that information will be there and when
[608]
the state has
[609]
reviewed and confirmed this document it
[611]
will be locked
[614]
if you need to change it you can click
[615]
the little pencil and
[617]
re-upload this document so
[622]
to review you've got these documents
[624]
that you need to upload you will upload
[626]
them one at a time
[627]
the documents must be in pdf
[630]
for security reasons it must be in pdf
[634]
and the last thing really to touch on is
[637]
this family
[638]
income statement so
[642]
this is the income
[646]
statement for windham county i picked a
[648]
business here that is based in windham
[649]
county
[650]
so this document that is available for
[653]
download
[653]
will be keyed based on your county so
[656]
whatever is here
[657]
download it fill it out and then
[660]
re-upload that
[661]
to tempest gems as a document and that
[664]
will go
[665]
right here as family income statement
[669]
very good when we have
[672]
lovely perfect check marks all the way
[674]
down our scorecard
[676]
we're going to go under requests i'm
[679]
going to click
[680]
add request i'm going to hit
[684]
select submit application um
[689]
please accept my application
[694]
