Recommended Action: Approve the Agreements and Authorize the Chairman to Sign.
These agreements serve to subcontract the provision of Intellectual and Developmental Disability (I/DD) services in Sedgwick County to organizations and individuals that have met Kansas Department on Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) and Community Developmental Disability Organization (CDDO) standards.
