Bruce Shell Cam Griffin Amy. Akui Dot[ie Ray and I have discussed the situation described above. I realize •
the County does not. have to -pay Mr. Long for work above the contracted amount; however I am
recommending We11~Care and Nursing, Inc.; be paid for the work performed beyond the contract .The. ~ '
D .amount fo be paid is $13;601.56. I have discussed with Cam Griffin a way to pay Mr. Long'without using .
additional County funds, I propose we use County money now in the Home Delivered Meals contract senzce
line item to cover Well Care & Nursing, Inc.'s costs of $13,601.56 and replace the Home Delivered Meal's
contract service line wiih money donated to the BRIDGE.program. All funds in BRIDGE are ear marked for
t purchase of Home Delivered Meals. ~ ~ • ,
In keeping with oui mission~as a human service agency, I believe it is in the best interest of the County that
we, the. Department of Aging, honor the work Well Care and Nursing, Inc., provided for our frail elderly. I
regret and apologize that this situation occurred. I am in the process now of developing monitoring checks
ith the Council of Governments office whereby my department ~~ill receive information on an earlier
schedule and we can avoid a repeat of this problem. ~ •
Please-contact me if you have questions. - ~ '
Sincerely, , .
