______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Board of Supervisors for its

consideration and acceptance an Amendment to an Agreement, reference to which is hereby made for further particulars, whereby Daniel Buckley, M.D. shall provide ophthalmology services to patients of San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC); and

 

WHEREAS, on October 5, 2004, your Board approved an Agreement with Dr. Daniel Buckley to provide ophthalmology services at SMMC; and

 

WHEREAS, for the last several years, Dr. Daniel Buckley has provided ophthalmology services to the patients of SMMC. These services include the diagnosis and treatment for diseases of the eye, including glaucoma surgery, cataract surgery, and clinics for eye injury, trauma, or refractive corrections. Patients treated at SMMC have a continuous need for such eye care services and Dr. Buckley offers the hospital the benefits of an experienced provider familiar with the complex nature of the County’s patient base; and

 

WHEREAS, in 2004, ophthalmology services for SMMC were contracted among four ophthalmologists. One of the contractors terminated his contract with the County in January 2005; another reduced their availability for services in April 2005; and

 

WHEREAS, Dr. Daniel Buckley increased his availability to cover the service gap such that his current productivity levels increased in volume.

 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to Amend the Agreement by increasing the amount by $8,500, changing the Agreement obligation from $115,669.38 to $124,169.38. The term of the Agreement, September 1, 2004 to August 31, 2006, remains the same.

 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the President of this Board of Supervisors be, and is hereby authorized and directed to execute said Amendment to the Agreement for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President's signatures thereto.
