The minutes record the board’s approval but do not include additional detail in this session about which programs, providers or service levels will be affected by the reduction. The amendment was entered on the record as an administrative change to the existing OHA-funded services agreement. Any operational impacts or department-level adjustments to service delivery were not specified in the meeting minutes and would be handled by Health and Human Services and partner providers under the terms of the IGA.
