I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his
designee (Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County,
Agreement #26-290 with the Regents of the University of California
(U.C. Davis School of Medicine, Surgery Department) , in the amount

Funding for this contract is included in the Health Services.
Department's Enterprise I budget. The services provided under
this agreement are billable to patients and appropriate third
party payors, and the actual cost depends upon utilization.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Department has been negotiating with the University for Dr.
Velez ' s services; however, completion of a formal contract was
delayed due to the School's 'internal administrative issues
regarding academic appointments and the complexity of the
negotiation process. As a result of the University's delay in
processing her academic appointment, Pauline Velez, M.D. ,
contracted directly with the County (Contract #26-912) . When Dr.
Velez 's appointment was approved, the Department was not notified.
As a result, Dr. Velez was over-paid by the County, in the amount
of $50, 213 . A re-payment plan has been negotiated with Dr. Velez.
Dr. Velez is an employee of, the University and .is being paid .by `
them.
Services beginning October 1, 1994 were both requested by County
staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith. Approval of
Agreement #26-290 will make the formal Contract consistent with
the oral agreement which was negotiated with the Contractor and
will allow Dr. Velez to continue to provide services through
September 30, 1996.
