Title
To authorize the transfer of $850,000 within the General fund, Department of Public Safety, to modify and extend a contract with Mount Carmel Occupational Health for testing services for the Division of Fire's Health and Physical Fitness Program; to authorize the expenditure of $850,000.00 from the General Fund; and to declare an emergency.
