2 reduction in new or innovative ways;
3 (b) Demonstrate innovative processes to collect and

12 Because the Legislature recognizes that input from the

15 entities to develop a process and define specific criteria for
16 allowing their participation with grant recipients.
17 (2) The department shall evaluate and prioritize the
18 annual grant proposals and present the annual prioritized list
19 of projects to be funded to the Governor and the Legislature
20 as part of its annual budget request submitted pursuant to
21 chapter 216, beginning with fiscal year 2003-2004. Potential
22 grant recipients are encouraged to demonstrate local support
23 for grant proposals by the commitment of cash or in-kind
24 matching funds.
25 (3) The department shall develop a consolidated grant
26 program for small counties having populations fewer than
27 100,000, with grants to be distributed equally among eligible
28 counties. Programs to be supported with the small-county
29 consolidated grants include general solid waste management,
