SECTION 1. That the mayor is authorized to enter into an agreement with the Lucas County Board of Commissioners to provide City of Toledo employees with access to certain Lucas County Wellness Program Services and assistance with implementation and administration of Wellness Program Services for the period January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

SECTION 5. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that the Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to improve the overall physical and emotional well-being of the City of Toledo’s employees and their dependents.
