WHEREAS, this Board has approved two of the vendors, Anchor Drugs and Baneth Pharmacy on April 27, 2010; and

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

consideration and acceptance an agreement with Ted’s Village Pharmacy, reference to which is hereby made for further particulars, to provide pharmacy services to patients of San Mateo Medical Center for the term from May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2013, with a maximum amount payable of $250,000; and
