Proposal 2 Purpose: Makes technical changes in Section 2-85 “Contracts” to eliminate the ability of county agencies to contract with officers or employees, thereby making the “Contracts” section conform to Proposal 1. Also, inserts the word “is” where that word was inadvertently left off of what was Section 2-85(b); renumbers Section 2-85(b) to make it Section 2-85(a). Proposed language: Section 2-85. Contracts. [(a) A County agency shall not enter into any contract involving services or property of a value in excess of $10,000 to procure or dispose of goods or services, or for construction, with an officer, an employee, or a business in which an officer or an employee has a controlling interest unless: (1) The contract is awarded by competitive sealed bidding pursuant to the state public procurement code; (2) The contract is awarded by competitive sealed proposal pursuant to the state public procurement code; or (3) The agency posts a notice of its intent to award the contract and files a copy of the notice with the County board of ethics at least ten days before the contract is awarded. (b)] (a) A County agency shall not enter into a contract with any person or business which is represented or assisted personally in the matter by a person who has been an employee of the agency within the preceding two years and who participated while in County office or employment in the matter with which the contract is directly concerned.
