SUBMITTED BY: Delfino E. Neira, Director, Department of Social Services
SUBJECT: Amendment I to Agreement with Fresno County Superintendent of Schools for Adult Education and Data Collection Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment I to Agreement No. A-14-309 with the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools for Adult Education and Data Collection Services extending the term by one year from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 and increasing the maximum total by $871,660 to a total of $3,620,425.
