RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-949-39(6) with A Step Forward Child Abuse Treatment and Training Programs, a Marriage, Family and Child Counseling Corporation, a corporation, effective January 1, 2011, to amend Contract #24-949-39(5), to increase the payment limit by $30,000, from $150,000 to a new payment limit of $180,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Medi-Cal Funds offset 50% State and 50% Federal. (No rate increase)
