heavily on the registry services in order to provide quality-nursing care for patients.
On January 24, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-213-18 with KGI Inc. (dba Key
Temps) for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, for the provision of

County has requested and Contractor has agreed to provide additional temporary help services to
cover critical areas at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa health Centers.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-213-20 will allow the Contractor to provide
