Subject:Novation Contract #74–362–3 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence

In February 2012, the County Administrator approved and Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, youth who are at-risk of experiencing violence and those who have experienced

this Contractor.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are

“normal” and an increased knowledge of their rights and responsibilities in a dating relationship.
