. No application for a grant may be made pursuant to this
chapter unless the public agency has also applied for a loan pursuant
to this chapter. A public agency shall be eligible for a grant only
to the extent that the department finds that the agency is found
unable to repay the full costs of a loan.
If the department has determined that the applicant is unable to
repay the full costs of a loan, the applicant may also file for a
grant. Upon receipt of a grant application, the department shall
determine that portion of the full costs that the applicant is
capable of repaying. Grant funds shall only be provided for that
portion that the applicant is not capable of repaying.
