The EPAD Program shall be administered by the County (initially, the Program Administrator). If so determined by the County Judge/Executive, the County is authorized to engage a third-party EPAD Program Administrator to administer the EPAD Program, and from and after that time such administrator shall be the Program Administrator. In addition to the actions and determinations specifically described in this chapter (as it may be amended and in effect from time to time), the Program Administrator may take such further actions and exercise such further discretion as may be necessary for the efficient and effective administration of the EPAD Program, provided that all such actions and discretion shall at all times be authorized under the EPAD Act and shall not be inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the EPAD Program set forth in this chapter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Program Administrator may from time to time develop additional eligibility criteria, develop or adopt a handbook for the EPAD Program, develop a standard application form, and retain third-party services in association with the management and operation of the EPAD Program, all of the cost of which shall be paid from fees collected with assessments imposed under the EPAD Program.
