Human Services Department, Community Services Division, recommending Chairman be authorized to sign Amendment 1 to Agreement 441-S0610 with Care Access Silicon Valley, Inc. increasing the monthly user fee from $30 to $35 with the maximum amount not to exceed $3,000 through June 30, 2008 to continue to utilize the CareAccess software, necessary to bill Medi-Cal for reimbursement of Multi-Purpose Senior Services Program waived services and to track and maintain client data for mandated reporting to the California Department of Aging.
