    (g) a resolution from the governmental  entity  supporting  the  local
  public   safety  answering  point's  request  for  expedited  deployment
  funding.
    3. The board shall have ninety days to review and approve  such  local
  public  safety  answering  point's  enhanced wireless 911 plan. The plan
  shall be determined by the board to be  complete  or  incomplete  within
  ninety  days  of  receipt  of  the  plan.  If the board does not issue a
  determination of completeness or incompleteness within  ninety  days  of
  receipt of the plan, the plan shall be deemed approved. Upon approval of
  the  local  public safety answering point's plan, the board shall submit
  recommendations  for  expedited  deployment  funding  contained  in   an
  approved  enhanced  wireless  911  plan  to the New York state dormitory

  sixteen hundred eighty-nine-h of the public authorities law.
    4.  (a)  The  dormitory authority shall make final determinations with
  respect to such recommendations not later than the end of the  following
  month and shall convey such recommendations to the department of state.
    (b)   The   department   of   state,  in  accordance  with  the  final
  determinations by  the  dormitory  authority,  shall  distribute  monies
  appropriated for this purpose to the local public safety answering point
  for  the payment of eligible wireless 911 service costs pursuant to this
  section and in accordance with the provisions of section sixteen hundred
  eighty-nine-h of the public authorities law.
    (c) A local public safety answering point whose plan has  been  denied
  or who has been denied funding may appeal such denial to the board.
    5.  Following  distribution  of  expedited deployment funds, the local
  public safety answering points shall submit receipts  to  accompany  the
  approved   vouchers  demonstrating  that  such  expenditures  have  been
  incurred.  Any  local  public  safety  answering  point  which  utilizes
  expedited deployment funding for purposes other than those authorized by
  the  board  shall  be  provided with written notice by the board of such
  unauthorized expenditures. Upon receipt of the notice, the local  public
  safety  answering  point  shall  cease  making any expenditure involving
  expedited deployment funding. The local public  safety  answering  point
  may  petition  and  shall  receive  a  hearing before the board within a
  reasonable time. At the board's  discretion,  the  local  public  safety
  answering  point  shall  be  required  to  refund within thirty days any
  expedited deployment funding spent on unauthorized  expenditures.  Local
  public  safety  answering points which fail to cease making unauthorized
  expenditures  or  fail  to  comply  with  a  request to refund expedited
  deployment funding shall be subject to a suspension of future funding by
  the board.
    6. Money shall not be allocated  for  any  item  other  than  eligible
  wireless  911 service costs as defined in subdivision sixteen of section
  three hundred twenty-five of this article.
