(a) Where consistent with sound and efficient management and subject to federal law and regulations and these regulations a Community Action Agency may delegate the administration of component projects to delegate agency/sub-contractors. When a Community Action Agency places responsibility for major policy determinations with respect to the character, funding, extent and administration of, and budgeting for, programs to be carried on in a particular geographic area within the community in subsidiary board, council, or similar agency, such board, council or agency shall be broadly representative of such area. The Community Action Agency shall be responsible to the Commissioner for ensuring that the delegate agency sub-contractor will comply with the terms and conditions of the regulation. The Community Action Agency will execute an agreement with the delegate agency/sub-contractor in the manner and form prescribed by the Commissioner. The Community Action Agency may require additional contract provisions to ensure compliance with applicable statutes, regulations or by-laws as it sees fit to impose.
