NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the Request for Proposal Process is waived; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the President of this Board of Supervisors be, and is hereby authorized and directed to execute said Agreements for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President’s signature thereto; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of the Human Services Agency shall be authorized to execute subsequent amendments and minor modifications thereto during the initial term of these Agreements; however, as to each Agreement, such authority is limited to:

a) Reducing the County’s maximum fiscal obligation in the event there is a commensurate reduction in the funding received by the County;
