APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Aspiranet, a Non-Profit Corporation, to increase the payment limit by $28,084.00 to a new payment limit of $228,084.00 for continued receiving center services, with no change in the contract term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
