On or before the January fifteenth next following, the Connecticut Arts Council shall notify the department of an amount equal to the total matching grants as calculated pursuant to section 10-407 and the department shall certify such amount to the Treasurer. Thereafter, the Treasurer shall make available such amount to the department and the department shall, on or before April fifteenth, pay to each arts organization a grant as calculated pursuant to said section 10-407, provided the department shall not pay any grant equaling less than five hundred dollars.
