Each MOU becomes effective on the date that both the HMO and PNCC provider have signed it and will remain in effect until terminated by either party.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT BE RESOLVED, that the Board of Health for Madison and Dane County authorizes Public Health Madison & Dane County to enter into Memorandum of Understanding agreements with each of the above named Health Maintenance Organizations for the purposes described above; and
