a contract price, but again it is professional services. It's not a <br /> bid...there's no...it's not based solely on price. <br /> Mr. Adams: But it is a contract with the County at that point? <br /> Mr. Gloor: Absolutely. <br /> Mr. Adams: Which would mean as I'm understanding it then might see you or <br /> whoever's selected at that point? <br /> Mr. Gloor: So just to clarify cause maybe I've miss understood, but it sounds <br /> like this code didn't apply specifically to professional services. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: That's our opinion and it's for the Board to further articulate that if <br /> the Board agrees with that opinion. Mr. Adams. <br /> Mr. Adams: So...my understanding of your statement or Corp. Counsel's <br /> statement was for individuals that are going to be placed on the <br /> professional services listing. That that's not a contract action <br /> between the County and the private individuals or private <br /> companies are going to be on that list. But once folks are selected <br /> off that list by departments of the County to then engage in <br /> negotiations with the County for those services and then be paid <br /> for them under a contract. That's then a contract for good and <br /> services to the County and if I'm reading that... then that's a <br /> contract for goods and services with the County agency...that then <br /> opens the door to this ordinance in our purview of it. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: Right so that's an option the Board can take if the Board should so <br /> decide. The problem with the ordinance is it seems very contract <br /> specific as you mentioned member Adams right. As far as the <br /> applicability, we're threading on new grounds so it's up to the <br /> Board to interpret the statute and if there are problems with the <br /> statute...perhaps further clarification from the Council. It's just <br /> how far you want to take it or what's a reasonable interpretation of <br /> the statute as written. So I'll leave it up to the Board discussion, <br /> but that is our opinion. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Madame Chair if I may. I just would like to see some level of <br /> clarity here. Where as in this case you have a husband and <br /> wife...wife works for the County...husband is provides for <br /> professional services. It seems that they followed the letter in <br /> asking for clarity from the Ethics Board by full disclosure in <br /> 12 <br />
