DATE: April 27, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Katherine Hughes, Ph.D.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION '
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Ratify purchase of services from Katherine Hughes, Ph.D. , in excess of
the payment limit of Standard Contract #26-218-7, for the period from
March 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995, and authorize the County
Auditor-Controller to pay the $300 outstanding balance for said
services.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Department Enterprise I budget. As
appropriate, patients and/or third-party payors are billed for
services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On May 17 ; 1994, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Contract
#26-218-7 with Katherine Hughes, Ph.D. , for the period from March 1,
1994 through February 28, 1995, with a payment limit of $37, 600, to
provide behavioral science consultation services and technical
assistance to the County's Family Practice Residency Program.
Services were requested and provided by the Contractor beyond the
payment limit and by the end of February, 1995, charges of $37 , 900 had
been incurred, of which $37, 600 had been paid and $300 remains
outstanding.
Professional services were both requested by County staff and provided
by the Contractor in good .faith. Because of administrative oversight
by both the County and Contractor, use of the Contractor's services
exceeded the authorized limits.
The Department is requesting that the amount due Dr. Hughes, be paid.
This can be accomplished by the Board of Supervisors ratifying the
actions of the County employees in obtaining provision of services of
a value in excess of the contract payment limit. This will create a
valid obligation on the part of the County, retroactively authorizing
all payments made by the Auditor-Controller up to now under Standard
Contract #26-218-7, and authorizing payment of the ba nce.
