non-point source pollution technical assistance, information, and education or

(b) A one-time advance of the annual allocation of either
technical assistance or information and education funds, or both, shall be paid
to each district by the commission after July 1, upon receipt of the signed
contract.

district's uncommitted balance retained on June 30, to equal the current fiscal

remain in each district account and shall be deducted from the next fiscal
year's annual advance if the contract is extended.
