SUBMITTED BY: David Pomaville, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Retroactive Amendments to Agreements with Children and Families Commission of Fresno County
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive Amendment III to Agreement No. 16-683 with Children and Families Commission of Fresno County for the Nurse-Family Partnership program extending the term by one year from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and increasing the maximum by $210,249 to a total of $1,037,186.
