a household of one with an annual income of $5,600 to full fee with
S an annual income of $26, 000. Rates will decrease with each
additional family member.
e. Jefferson City employees and their immediate families residing
at the same address will be offered Mental Health Services at one-
half of the rates mentioned above. A full rate schedule is
attached to this contract as Appendix A. The Family Mental Health
Center will advise Jefferson City employees and their immediate
families as to which charges may be reimbursable by the City's
health insurance.
7. Ways of handling employees with a problem, or problems, and
