Amendment 1 to agreement A2110773 will allow for the following ministerial adjustments found in section “a. Compensation:” editing the name of the budget document from “B” to “B-1” and editing paragraph “a.1” from “COUNTY must obtain STATE written approval before changing any part of the budget. Notwithstanding Clause 16.1 of CONTRACT, shifting of funds between budget line items does not require an amendment if the amount shifted does not exceed 10% of the smaller line item and when the total obligation and salaries/fringe benefits remains unchanged.” to “COUNTY must obtain STATE written approval before changing any part of the budget. Notwithstanding Clause 16.1 of CONTRACT, shifting of funds between budget line items does not require an amendment if the amount shifted does not exceed 10% of that budget year total and does not change the total obligation amount.”
