other departments with independent systems, and we can make the decision at that <br />time rather than have five people come in. Or you can just stick to the contracts, but I <br />probably would suggest that you would stagger the meeting time because you are <br />dealing with department heads that we would say 10:00 you would have the contract <br />people come in. And if you wanted somebody else to come in, and you say that’s <br />11:00. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> Yeah, definitely. One other thing I’d like to recommend, when we’re <br />looking at contracts it’s one thing to get the input from Procurement and the attorneys. <br />It’s another thing to hear from the departments and the issues they’re having with <br />getting actions contracted, getting out their RFP, IFB, and the oversight that they’re <br />providing once the contract is in place in terms of collecting documentation. So it would <br />be nice to hear both sides. And we’ll only basically hear one by inviting Procurement, <br />and we’ll understand the process. But we also need to understand what the issues are <br />with that process. So, it may take more than one meeting to address this. <br />MS. GARSON: <br /> Oh yeah. That’s fine. <br />MS. WONG: <br /> So the next two meetings will be four groups. <br />MS. GARSON: <br /> Please tell me so, the next meeting you want to discuss the contracting <br />people? Procurement. And so we’ll invite the representative from the Department of <br />Public Works too, who is the contract person. And in a way she’s a little bit on a user <br />end too. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> They have a different process. <br />MS. GARSON: <br /> So Nancy Crawford, Gilbert Benevides who is the head of the <br />Purchasing Division, and an attorney from our office to talk about contracting <br />procedures. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> All on the same topic? <br />MS. GARSON: <br /> Yes. And if you want somebody else on a different topic you let me <br />know. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> So, can we then identify as a commission what it is we need to know so <br />they can have better direction on preparing. <br />MS. GARSON: <br /> Yes. <br />MS. WONG: <br /> I’m sorry? <br />MS. GARSON: <br /> What you do you want them to speak about. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br /> Yeah. What we need to know from these folks that we’re inviting so <br />they can develop a presentation. <br />MS. WONG: <br /> The process of procurement, isn’t it? <br />24 <br /> <br />
