RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-347-26 with Cross Country Staffing, Inc. (dba Medical Staffing Network), a corporation, effective November 1, 2015, to amend Contract #26-347-25, to add additional hourly rates for two classifications to the rate sheet, with no change in the original payment limit of $8,000,000, and no change in the original term July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment reflects a change to the rate sheet to include hourly rates for X-Ray technicians and Registered Nurse Specialty and is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise I Fund. (Rate increase)
