RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-306-25 with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., a corporation, effective April 1, 2016, to amend Contract #26-306-24, to increase the payment limit by $200,000, from $1,000,000 to a new payment limit of $1,200,000, with no change in the original term of February 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
