On January 17, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-546 with Estelle Gregory, M.D.
for provision of psychiatric services at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Psychiatric Emergency
Services Unit, for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.
Due to an administrative oversight provisions to reimburse Contractor for actual allowable expenses
incurred while attending conferences and traveling on behalf of County was omitted from the formal
Contract. It was the intent of the County that the Contractor be reimbursed for these expenses therefore
this amendment will reform the Payment Provisions to add language for expense reimbursement.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-546-1 will reform the Contract, to make the formal
Contract consistent with the oral agreement, which was negotiated with the Contractor with no change in
the Payment Limit or the term from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.
