Item 26 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The city wants to lock in its contract with Concentra Medical Centers for drug and alcohol testing handled through Austin Human Resources. This keeps the testing program running for city employees, and Council would also approve bumping the contract up by $84,000 — bringing the total to a not-to-exceed amount of $501,845. The money comes from current and prior years' Human Resources operating budgets.
