MS. O’HARA: Second. MS. NICHOLSON: Okay. Any other discussion on amendments? We have a call for a vote. All in favor? ACTION ON MOTION: All: Aye. MS. NICHOLSON: Any opposed? None MS. MECKLENBURG: Now go back to the motion. MS. NICHOLSON: Now we move to accept the original motion which we have on the table already to accept the minutes. Any other discussion? Okay I call for a vote. All those in favor? ACTION ON MOTION: All: Aye. MS. NICHOLSON: Any opposed? None. DISCUSSION, AND QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION WITH FINANCE, PURCHASING DIVISION, PUBLIC WORKS AND CORPORATION COUNSEL REGARDING CURRENT PROCESSING OF CONTRACTS AND CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION MS. NICHOLSON: Okay we have moved through the minutes and now we’re actually, if you all agree, we will skip agenda item 4, Correspondence so we can go right into the discussion section so that we don’t waste these folks time. And because I missed the last meeting, I’m not sure what it is we’re doing. We’ve got Discussion and Question and Answer Session With Finance, Purchasing Division, Public Works and Corporation Counsel Regarding Current Processing of Contracts and Contract Administration. So, what was the intent for how we want to handle this? Do we want everyone at the table at once? Or do we want them to each give an individual presentation? MS. MECKLENBURG: I think the intent was to allow them to give a presentation and then you’ll have the opportunity for discussion and question and answer. MS. WONG: I think it was a 10-15 minute presentation and then question and answers. MS. MECKLENBURG: Not each individual was my understanding. One presentation. MS. CRAWFORD: Our understanding was we were going to come together and do a presentation. MS. NICHOLSON: Together or individual? MS. CRAWFORD: Together. We are a team. 3
