Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Dr. Evan Bloom is currently contracted with the county to assist the Lake County Public Health Officer during the COVID-19 Crisis Response providing medical consult.
The first amendment to the Agreement allowed Dr. Bloom to be designated to act as alternate Public Health Officer in special circumstances.
The second amendment extended the term until May 31, 2021, adjusted compensation rates while acting as alternate Public Health Officer, and raised the maximum compensation of the original agreement to $24,900.00.
This third amendment raises the maximum compensation of the original agreement to $35,000.00.
