Request by the Office of County Administration for approval of an amendment to an interlocal subrecipient agreement with the Harris County Hospital District, dba Harris Health System, to adjust budget categories and indirect costs with no increase in the total contract amount.

Sometimes a contract needs a tune-up even when the total dollar amount stays the same. This amendment adjusts how money is divided inside the budget — for example, moving funds between staffing, supplies, or administrative costs — to better match how the program is actually running.

This is a contract amendment between Harris County and Harris Health System (the public hospital system that runs Ben Taub, LBJ, and other local clinics). The change reorganizes budget line items and adjusts indirect cost allocations. The total contract amount does not increase.
