Section 20.40.405. Changes in approved grant project.

	(a)  The scope and nature of activities for which grant money may be expended, and other terms and requirements of a grant project may not be changed without prior written approval of the authority. A request for approval of a change in the terms or requirements of a grant project must be submitted to the authority in writing and must describe the requested change and explain the reason for it. The authority will notify the grantee of its decision in writing no later than 20 working days after receipt of the request.  
	(b)  The appointment of the director of a grant project and any other key personnel specified by the authority in the grant award, including any changes in those positions during the term of the grant, are subject to prior written approval of the authority. The grantee shall immediately notify the authority in writing of any change in the director of a grant project or any other key personnel, including an absence due to incapacity that is expected to or does exceed three months, and, if applicable, advise the authority that the grantee desires to terminate the grant project because of the change. Any change is subject to the approval of the authority. The authority will notify the grantee in writing of any objections to the change.  
	(c)  If a grantee informs the authority under (b) of this section that the grantee desires to terminate the grant project, the authority will provide the grantee with instructions for doing so. If the grantee does not desire to terminate the grant project, replacement of the director or other key personnel is subject to prior written approval of the authority. If the grantee is unable to recruit a qualified candidate who is approved by the authority and the grantee is otherwise unable to assure performance of the duties of the position, the authority may terminate the grant.  
	(d)  Subject to (e) of this section, a grantee may reallocate money between budget categories within the total grant project budget to meet unanticipated expenditures necessary to the successful continuation or completion of the grant project, if the expenditures are authorized under the terms of the grant. A grantee must  
		(1) receive prior written approval from the authority before reallocating an amount that exceeds 10 percent of a budget category established in the grant that is affected by the reallocation or $2,500, whichever is less; and  
		(2) notify the authority within 15 calendar days after reallocating an amount not subject to (1) of this subsection.  
	(e)  The grantee shall notify the authority of an increase or decrease in the total amount of the grant project budget from all sources within 30 calendar days after the increase or decrease.
