Savings that are actually and demonstrably 36 realized by the participating local governments are eligible for match- 37 ing funding. For actions that are part of an approved plan transmitted 38 to the secretary of state in accordance with paragraph b of subdivision 39 seven of this section, savings achieved from January first through 40 December thirty-first from new actions implemented on or after January 41 first through December thirty-first of the year immediately following an 42 approved and transmitted plan may be eligible for matching funding. Only 43 net savings between local governments for each action would be eligible 44 for matching funding. Savings from internal efficiencies or any other 45 action taken by a local government without the participation of another 46 local government are not eligible for matching funding. Each county and 47 all of the local governments within the county that are part of any 48 action to be implemented as part of an approved plan must collectively 49 apply for the matching funding and agree on the distribution and use of 50 any matching funding in order to qualify for matching funding. 51 9.
