provide court-ordered psychological evaluation services is through the use of Professional
Services contracts with local experts in the field. The Court is requesting a contract with
Julie Kwon, previously a Senior Psychologist for the Court’s Clinic. Funding is available in

Commissioners indicating retirees hired after 1/1/84 as either part-time non-eligible
employees or as contractual professional service contractors.” Ms Scarlet indicated the
Human Resources Department has not been providing these reports. Some Committee
