A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK 1. If submitted for negotiation. If the proposal, plan, or other computation is required to be submitted to the federal Government (or to the pass-through entity) to form the basis for negotiation of the rate, then the three (3) year retention period for its supporting records starts from the date of such submission. 2. If not submitted for negotiation. If the proposal, plan, or other computation is not required to be submitted to the federal Government (or to the pass-through entity) for negotiation purposes, then the three (3) year retention period for the proposal, plan, or computation and its supporting records starts from the end of the fiscal year (or other accounting period) covered by the proposal, plan, or other computation. d. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.335, the federal awarding agency shall request transfer of certain records to its custody from the Division or the Sub -Recipient when it determines that the records possess long-term retention value. However, in order to avoid duplicate recordkeeping, the federal awarding agency may make arrangements for the non-federal entity to retain any records that are continuously needed for joint use. e. The Division utilizes the Digital Enterprise Management System (DEMES) as its primary platform for all Agreement information. While electronic records are the standard, the Division will, in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.336, provide or accept paper versions of this information to or from the Sub -Recipient upon request. When original records are created and maintained electronically in DEMES, they serve as the official record, and paper copies are not required for retention. If a Sub -Recipient submits paper copies, these paper records will be digitized and substituted with an electronic version in DEMES, provided the process includes periodic quality control, reasonable safeguards against alteration, and ensures the record remains readable. f. As required by 2 C.F.R. § 200.303(e), the Sub -Recipient shall take reasonable measures to safeguard protected personally identifiable information and other information the federal awarding agency or the Division designates as sensitive or the Sub -Recipient considers sensitive consistent with applicable federal, state, local, and tribal laws regarding privacy and obligations of confidentiality. g. Section 286.011, Florida Statutes (Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law), provides the citizens of Florida with a right of access to governmental proceedings and mandates three, basic requirements: (1) meetings of public boards or commissions shall be open to the public; (2) reasonable notice of such meetings shall be given; and (3) minutes of the meetings shall be taken and promptly recorded. The mere receipt of public funds by a private entity, standing alone, is insufficient to bring that entity within the ambit of the open government requirements. However, Section 286.011, Florida Statutes (Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law), also applies to private entities that provide services to governmental agencies and that act on behalf of those agencies in the agencies' performance of their public duties. If a public agency delegates the performance of its public purpose to a private entity, then, to the extent that private entity is performing that public purpose, Section 286.011, Florida
