AMENDMENTS

All amendment requests will be carefully evaluated and must be approved by the District in writing. Grantees may submit amendment requests for changes to grant amounts, project scopes, and/or performance period end dates.

If Board approval is not required for the modification, the District will initiate an amendment into the Project Agreement. If Board approval is required, the governing body of the Grantee must adopt a Resolution authorizing the modification and submit the Resolution to the District. The District will then submit the modification to the Board of Supervisors for approval.

  1. Justification for the request
