SUBJECT: Agreement with HR Support, Inc. to provide COVID and flu vaccine administration and COVID testing services

Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Agreement with HR Support, Inc. for COVID and flu vaccine administration and COVID testing services, effective upon execution through September 26, 2022, with the option to extend for one additional 12-month period, total not to exceed $800,000.
