“Vice Chairwoman, we'll start with 3A. Okay, I had some questions. Thank you, Madam Chair. So I see that this one's particularly pertaining to the supervisor of elections. And there's some changes that are happening, but there's also the crosswalk policy in here. And I just wanted to know, because this is a change that's coming a little bit later, is there any other constitutional office that has the same issue that will have to take care of this later with the crosswalk? Or is the supervisor election the last one that needs to do this change?”

“Okay, so there's there's 3 components to this, right? There's a switch of the filing of the financial disclosures. Those things are switching over.”

“Yes, so on the, thank you, Madam Chair. On the carryover, right? I know, I think we have some unreadiness about the carryover. I've been trying to work on policy, but I know that there's a hold out there somewhere. But I think that we should look at how we can use this money to provide relief back to our seniors. If we're able to move this back into the general fund, I think this is a year where it deserves to look at it. I don't know how quickly the administration can do it, but I would like a directive to the administration to let us know how we can use the 4.7 in carryovers for relief for…”

“from the last meeting yes i i know that we have to move this forward so i don't know how realistic that will come back but if we can see it before this item comes up for final approval that's that would be my goal through the chair yes you're recognized a point of clarification and i i trust the county attorneys may correct me if i misstep”

“for tax relief which is under the code allowable and we'll move from there senator garcia i know you had a comment i'm sorry sorry well i still have the floor thank you madam chair i just want to clarify because um i i just heard that this is a recommendation but this is not a recommendation i don't know if i'm mixing up the language but this is an ordinance adopting and ratifying the budget adjustments correct so it's not a recommendation we're actually adopting the administration's recommendation which means we're putting the money where you say to put it”

“Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. So it's a rejection of bids, right? So I wanted to ask when we can expect the new solicitation to come back to us. um i this is you know for materials and items construction items i suppose so you know i know that things get more expensive and so are we working to hold the price that we have now to make sure that if we toss out the solicitation it doesn't increase as the time goes by and when can we see a new solicitation in front of us morning director you're recognized good morning through the chair the”

“Okay, so. My question, though, is when we'll see the solicitation come back.”

“Vice Chairwoman, you have pulled that item. Thank you, Madam Chair. So I see that the constitutional offices are also using documentum. And we've come across a number of contracts that include constitutional offices. But there's constantly a back and forth of whether the constitutional offices are with us, without, not with us, if they've completely separated from the county. In this case, what happens if the constitutional offices choose to stop using this service and want to do their own thing, want to use their own service for this support? What are we doing to kind of unwind ourselves…”

“I had a follow up question because now the constitutional offices are separate from the county, right? So this documentum service supports a lot, it says it here in the item, massive amounts of county data. Is all that protected, separated so that our data is not mixing with the constitutional offices and vice versa?”

“I have a lot of questions about this item. For example, I didn't know that we were buying golf products to sell at our parks. And I understand we have a number of golf courses in the county. I wanted to ask, how profitable is this really for us? Because we're, from what I see on the item, we're spending 700,000 to buy these items and Maybe 50,000, but given the fact that our parks are so under fire every single year, is this the best use of our money for parks?”

“Yeah, well, with all due respect and I appreciate the explanation and I understand it's revenue generating. I just have unreadiness with this because our parks were under so much fire last year, right? And we were considering cutting lifeguards. So for us to be doing a bid waiver to buy golf items, it doesn't sit well with me, and that's just me personally. Nothing against the golf courses. I hope that we make millions of dollars off of this, but that's just me personally. I think that we're waiving authority to buy items, and we really don't know how much we're going to generate off these…”

“Well, Madam Chair, if I may, I mean, it's an item that has economic impact, and I think that's why it's here. No, clearly. Well, yes, but that's why we're reviewing it.”

“I wanted to add because I was very surprised that a rejection of bids came through without a score sheet or anything, nothing. I received it once I asked for it. I got it this morning at some point. So I think when we have a rejection of bids, we need to have that information so we know exactly what we're looking at. And I was shocked to see the price differences between these different competing companies, there is a huge difference in price. So I'm not sure how the weight was placed on price in the scoring, but that leads me to many, many more questions than I'm sure my colleagues have as…”

“Vice Chairwoman Leonorvis. I'm obviously supportive of the motion. I was a seconder. I think that I've heard our colleagues. I think this was here. I think this will be a very, very lengthy discussion to flesh out at the commission meeting. And I think I would make an amendment to send it back to our committee for the next committee meeting. Send this item back with everything else and just instead of BCC sending it back to our next scheduled committee.”
