<br /> specifically…her experience…it kind of looks as though there may <br /> have been discrimination involved and that’s the concern here…. <br /> <br />Mr. Brilhante: I think we have to be very careful when we say…when we make <br /> statements to the public again this is a public meeting that there <br /> may have been discrimination involved you know going forward I <br /> think that’s a very dangerous…assumption to place on the <br /> record…here all the requirements for employment contract was <br /> followed…you had somebody who had historical knowledge with <br /> the program with the project…she was looking to leave the <br /> County…she had a request because of personal reason…she didn’t <br /> want to continue to you know to work with the County on a full- <br /> time basis…so in order to obtain the most qualified and take <br /> advantage of here experience and knowledge with the project…an <br /> offer in you know substitute of working full-time was you know <br /> found and you know was negotiated and we’re able to you know <br /> maintain this individual going forward…again for the benefit of <br /> the entire public…the situation you’re referring to is when the <br /> County performs you know open competitive civil service <br /> recruitment…that’s not the case here…we’re just dealing with a <br /> one year contract you know which the HRS…the State laws <br /> specifically affords the Counties and the State to do and often <br /> times we do take advantage of that you know it’s just for the <br /> general operation you know to keep government functioning <br /> properly and efficiently and effectively…we have to be able to <br /> take advantage of those types of situations… <br /> <br />Mr. Goodenow: No… <br /> <br />Ms. Sumner-Mack: I didn’t mean to assume anything or assert anything…I’m <br /> just…but you know Ben Franklin said it’s not good enough to do <br /> the right thing…you need to be sure that it looks okay and maybe <br /> there should have been something in the contract that <br /> explained…why…it was handled the way it was or pointing out <br /> the laws that permit this kind of…because if it’s so unusual…that <br /> in it’s self looks rather suspicious…so anyways thank you very <br /> much…. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodenow: Just to follow a little bit on that Mr. Brilhante…you know you <br /> said…sounded like you support the policies that the legislature has <br /> in their wisdom decided to do…how to do it…but really that is a <br /> policy call for the legislature as to these contracts right…the <br /> chapter whatever they’re called the…exemptions 89…contracts <br /> right…the…we see them quite a bit I know Mr. Levin…I don’t <br /> know if it’s ended right…he’s lobbying for the County…it’s the <br /> same type of contract as that…is that correct… <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
