This agreement recommendation <br />was the result of the strategy meeting held in February 2009 to determine <br />expenditures for the 2009-2010 HOPWA funds. Participants at the strategy <br />meeting included staff from the O.C. Health Care Agency, staff from the <br />non-profit service agencies providing services to the HIV/AIDS community, <br />and consumers of those services. <br /> <br />At this time, the County is requesting an additional $262,000 due to the <br />reduction in funding from the State of California for HIV/AIDS services <br />in Orange County. The City received a letter supporting the request from <br />the chair of the Orange County HIV Planning Council, HIV Housing <br />Committee and HIV Client Advocacy Committee. These additional funds are <br />available from unexpended prior year allocations that were previously <br />budgeted for future development proj ects. The proposed amendment will <br />increase the total contract to $1,237,043. Any funds unexpended by the <br />County at the close of the program year will be de-obligated and <br />reallocated to other eligible activities. <br />
