Ms. Noda suggested amending "managers" to "supervisors /managers," because that <br />would make it clearer for many departments, and Ms. Nicholson agreed. <br />Ms. Nicholson asked whether Corporation Counsel would be responsible for training on <br />procurement issues, or whether another department would do that. Ms. Noda said it would <br />probably be the deputy corporation counsel who is assigned to the Finance Department, this <br />currently being Craig Masuda. He would do the training in conjunction with the Finance <br />Department, because the Purchasing Division of the Finance Department does the orders and <br />purchasing and has rules and procedures to follow. <br />Ms. Nicholson said that it would be better not to specify that Corporation Counsel <br />provide the training. Mr. Joseph said Corporation Counsel could be made responsible for it, so <br />that if the recommendation is ever looked at, people will know where the responsibility falls. <br />Ms. Nicholson said that the recommendation, then, is that "Corporation Counsel is to <br />provide /coordinate the legal, contractual, and procurement training to all new managers/ <br />supervisors, specific to their departments, within three months of hire date." <br />The Chair asked whether every division is bound by procurement laws, and Ms. Noda <br />said yes. <br />The Chair stated that there was an amendment to the motion and a second, and asked if <br />there was any further discussion. There being none, he called for a vote on all who were in favor <br />of the recommendation as amended. <br />Vote: All commissioners present voted aye on accepting the recommendation as <br />amended. <br />h. All departments: Recommend that all departments budget for and expend monies <br />for professional development opportunities. <br />Mr. Joseph said he believed all departments already budget for this and that he felt it <br />would be okay to support their budgeting for this and reinforce the professional development <br />opportunities. Ms. Provalenko agreed. <br />Motion and vote: Mr. Joseph moved to accept the recommendation as worded in the <br />draft, and Ms. Provalenko seconded the motion. There being no further discussion, all <br />commissioners present voted aye. <br />All departments: Recommend that all departments implement a computerized <br />maintenance management system. <br />Motion and vote: Ms. Provalenko moved to keep this recommendation as worded, and <br />Ms. Nicholson seconded the motion. There being no further discussion, all commissioners <br />present voted aye. <br />rd <br />
