TO: Sam Telep, County Attorney
FROM: Gene McKenna, Director, Welfare Department
SUBJECT: Weld County Dental Contract
DATE: January 15, 1973
Dear Mr. Telep:
Please find enclosed the 1973 dental contract proposed between the County
Board of Public Welfare and the Weld County Dental Society.
The contract is much the same as in prior years. The only two significant
changes are that the County Board approved additional funds for the 1973
calendar year which would call for four quarterly payments of $3,950.00
to be paid to the Colorado Dental Service acting as an agent for the Weld
County Dental Society - the other change is in item 6, which is a provision
to provide information about the additional coverage of Medicaid in the
dell area. I believe it is self-explanatory.
Please review the contract as to form and legality. I would request that
you submit it through the County Board, after it has met your review, for
their action.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your consider-
ation.
enc.
