Ordinance No. 1026-2009 authorized the appropriation of funds to Object Level One 01, Object Level One 02, and Object Level One 03 of the Health Department Grants Fund for the CFHS Program for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. This ordinance authorizes a supplemental appropriation of $85,000 from the unappropriated balance of the Health Department Grants Fund and a transfer of $137,528 within this fund.
