Title
Consider recommendations regarding Behavioral Wellness Staffing Contract Renewals for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Jackson and Coker Locum Tenens (not a local vendor), for the provision of locum tenens psychiatry services, for a total amount not to exceed $1,500,000.00 for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 20, 2017;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Locumtenens.com (not a local vendor), for the provision of locum tenens psychiatry services, for a total amount not to exceed $250,000.00 for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially physical impact on the environment, and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA guidelines.
