SUBMITTED BY: Susan Holt, Director of Department of Behavioral Health
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Kings View
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 25-586 with Kings View to include Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System language within the community behavioral health crisis response services agreement, effective upon execution with no change to the term of December 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, or compensation maximum of $51,200,693.
