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.
