The cooperative agreement shall be in effect for a five-year period. The amount of the subvention designated to each individual participating county shall be established in a memorandum of understanding between the commissioner and the secretary, in consultation with the board.
(b) The secretary, upon recommendation of the board or upon the secretary’s own initiative, may withhold a portion of the funds designated to a county if that county fails to meet the performance standards established by the secretary and set forth in the cooperative agreement with that county.
(c) The secretary shall provide a written justification to the board for any action taken by the secretary that does not fully implement a recommendation made by the board pursuant to subdivision (b).
