SIGNATURE DATE 9508411 Otr,am �, COLORADO mEmoRAnuum Dale Hall, Chairman To Board of County Commissioners From Subject: Date April 17, 1995 CI r John Pickle, Director, Health Department 3 Renewal of Purchase of Services Agreement with Monfort, Inc. Enclosed for Board approval is a purchase of services agreement between the Weld County Health Department (WCHD) and Monfort Inc. for the time period April 1, 1995 through March 31, 1996. Under the conditions of last year's agreement, WCHD provided certain pre -natal, post-partum, and family planning health services for Monfort, Inc. employees and dependents covered under the company's comprehensive health plan. This year's agreement is basically the same, except services provided will include well child exams, case management, education and adult health screenings as scheduling allows with current staffing patterns for clinic slots already reserved for Monfort clients. For these services, WCHD will receive up to $239, 532 which is $1,000 more than last year's contract. I recommend approval of this agreement. Enclosure 950845 Hello
