Title
Consider recommendations regarding a First Amendment to the Maxim Healthcare Staffing Services Agreement, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute the First Amendment to the Agreement with Maxim Healthcare Staffing Services to increase the amount by $550,000.00 for substitute and temporary health care personnel professional services for the unchanged period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024 for a revised total Agreement amount not to exceed $800,000.00;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director, or designee, to continue to: (1) sign Assignment Confirmation Letters or Placement Orders in accordance with Section B, Exhibit A in the Agreement; (2) add positions and/or approve rate changes not to exceed 10% of the rate currently stated in Exhibit B-1, subject to the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, Section B; and (3) make immaterial changes to the agreement so long as the total Agreement maximum is unchanged, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the proposed actions do not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, because they consist of the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.
