A simple end to an epic project...
Chaired by Board Member Allen Watson, the presently-active Procurement Committee was tasked about a year and a half ago with streamlining within local, state, and federal law the process by which small businesses are selected to do business with METRO. The video of what will most-likely be the 'swan-song' of this committee was held today.
0:05 Allen Watson starts off the meeting.
0:15 Rosa!! The horror of it all!!
2:11 Board member Diann Lewter thanks Allen for his work.
2:23 I would re-name another committee, adding Procurement to its name and function.
2:45 Kim (last name?) from METRO's Procurement Department starts her short presentation. The program for procurement of small businesses is ten years old, and a refresh of policies and procedures was due. Hence, this committee.
She goes on to describe some last changes made to certain requirements and goes on to the new pilot program for the re-done procedures and policies.
9:22 Allen talks about why the committee was created.
12:03 Kim thanks her staff for its work in this project.
14:55 Allen calls for a motion to send the new Procurement manual to the Board. Diann seconds.
15:19 Allen Watson adjourns the Procurement Committee for probably the last time.
