None.
Summary of Request:
Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings provides genetic parentage testing services to establish paternity for Mendocino County juvenile dependency court cases. Paternity tests are court ordered in foster care cases when paternity has not previously been determined.
Due to COVID-19, workload priorities have shifted daily to cover program operations, changing program operational needs and filling in for staffing gaps. This has taken time away from standard review of contracts and has necessitated additional time in contract preparation. This process necessitated a retroactive Agreement.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
