Board Order

#26-473-7
Nursing services were both requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith.
However, due to an administrative oversight by the Contractor, invoicing for services were not processed in a
timely manner, and the Department could not process amendments prior to the expiration dates of these
Contracts.
The Department is requesting that the amount due to the Contractor be paid. This can be accomplished by the
Board of Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in obtaining provision of temporary
physician 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, and
authorizing payment of the balance.
