TERMINATION OF CONTRACT WITH ARIZONA HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION Approve the termination of the contract between Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA), on behalf of its Healthcare Institute (HCI) Workforce Data Center, and Maricopa County administered by its Human Services Department (C-22-07-107-1). AzHHA has notified the County in writing of their intent to terminate the contract. The effective date of the contract termination is November 9, 2009. AzHHA has experienced a reduction in force due to loss of funding and is unable to fulfill its final year (year three) contractual obligations. The remaining contract amount is $50,000. This expenditure was not included in the FY2010 budget therefore there will be no fiscal impact. Notification to terminate the contract has been sent to AzHHA. Pursuant to the Contract’s General Provisions: I. Termination: ‘Either party may terminate this Contract at any time, with 60 days notice in writing to the other party (unless terminated by the Board of Supervisors under Availability of Funds provisions).
