No such council shall receive a grant for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, unless the secretary approves a spending plan for such grant moneys submitted by such council to the secretary on or before November 1, 2017. No such council shall receive a grant for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, unless the secretary approves a spending plan for such grant moneys submitted by such council to the secretary on or before July 1, 2018.

The secretary may provide biennial spending plan approval process guidelines at the secretary's discretion.
(c) Each regional council of governments shall use such grant funds for planning purposes and to achieve efficiencies in the delivery of municipal services, without diminishing the quality of such services. On or before October 1, 2018, and annually thereafter, each regional council of governments shall submit a report, in accordance with section 11-4a, to the joint standing committees of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to planning and development and finance, revenue and bonding, and to the secretary.
