Submitting False. Claims Grantee shall at all times deal in good faith with the City, shall only submit a Funding Request to the City upon a good faith and honest determination that the funds sought are for Eligible Expenses under the Grant, and shall only use Grant Funds for payment of Eligible Expenses as set forth in Appendix A. Any Grantee who commits any of the following false acts shall be liable to the City for three times the amount of damages the City sustains because of the Grantee's act. A Grantee will be deemed to have submitted a false claim to the City if the Grantee: (a) knowingly presents or causes to be presented to an officer or employee of the City a false Funding Request; (b) knowingly disburses Grants Funds for expenses that are not Eligible Expenses; (c) knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used a false record or statement to get a false Funding Request paid or approved by the City; (d) conspires to defraud the City by getting a false Funding Request allowed or paid by the City; or (e) is a beneficiary of an inadvertent submission of a false claim to the City, subsequently discovers the falsity of the claim, and fails to disclose the false claim to the City within a reasonable time after discovery of the false claim.
