RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-672-6 with Siri Sunderi Cheng, M.D., an individual, to amend Contract #26-672-5, to increase the payment limit by $30,000 from $1,140,000 to $1,170,000, with no change in the term of October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019.
