From: Elise Jones, Director of Behavioral Health Services
Subject: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement Between the County of Lake, through Lake County Behavioral Health Services as the Administrative Entity for the Lake County Continuum of Care, and Redwood Community Services, to Revise the Program Budget Through Reallocation of Existing Funds, With No Change to the Total Contract Amount of $2,417,489.64, and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign
