BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
health services, substance abuse counseling and a variety of special services. Contra Costa
does not have a similar program and this program would enhance the treatment options for
delinquent girls. The program would be ideal for girls resistant to therapy, who have a

The contract contains a mutual indemnification clause where the Counties of Madera and
Contra Costa agree to save harmless one another from all claims whatsoever. The contract,
including the mutual indemnification clause, has been reviewed as to form and approved by
County Counsel.
