Moved and seconded for agenda all in favor, say i. I. Opposed . Is have it so the that item passes can i have approval of the okay. We have a timely more we cant approve the consent calendar here at this time for Families Service agency because it is over the amount item two the 42 thousand the limit is 25 we not approval that at this time okay good morning commissioner president james and Deputy Director on may 7th david presented to the commission a 10 percent contingency well use on the contracts we mentioned that we would formally put everything on the sxhenlt agenda regardless of 25 thousand for the consent to use the contingency thats why the 42 is on the consent. I dont it is 25 thousand not 29 this is not the policy that we have been following and see im going to deny approving that at this time. Okay. Commissioner president james i think what shes saying the may meeting when david who at this time was head of contracted recorded to you thats y what well be doing you approved that at this time this is the first instance weve seen of that this is all it is instead of having to do a whole new item or 10 percent contingency it is not as though our approving a brand new item only the 10 percent contingency under extent the staff and also the contractor dont center to go through a brand new process every time a brand new item for 10 percent. Commissioner sims. Commissioner sims laughter it was from a point of clarification if we approved a budget item that is inclusive of a 10 percent conspiracy why at force at all it is already approved. The point is that it is just showing you again, we actually are experiencing the 10 percent contingency; is that correct. Ill submit it is confusing. Yes. If weve already approved a 10 percent conspiracy it seems to me not appearing in the Consent Agenda but wrafr be assumed by the paz. Easier for us commissioner serlina. My recollection at the time the approved the 10 percent we were told told when was exercised we would be notified thats why it is on the Consent Agenda. I really would this is why we have a Budget Committee i really would like to refer this back to the Budget Committee so the meat on this as a permanent item if he with approved it originally we shouldnt have to go through and put it in 0 the agenda for a 10 percent contingency downstairs id like to accepted it back to the Budget Committee. To look at this and a Better Process bra we change the rules okay. It was approved on may 7th it is a matter of information were putting it on consent so technical we have your approval for the item. Commissioner president james what if we were to do something where we put a if we have a way to put a notification on the agenda so that you know it is not a consent item youre not approving that but novelist maybe a new i dont know just a new line item you know exercise. I dont want to hold up the agenda today, i on the Budget Committee ought to use the time to look at this and find a smoother way to handle that i want to table it at this time this is not clear the process is not clear we spending time discussing this so i really want to refer it by a, to the Budget Committee yes commissioner serlina. If we table this now about it delay funding. Weve already approved that. I want to make sure by tabling this aspect it will for the delay it. Since youve approved it were fine and then you can figure out the Budget Committee can figure out howe how to put it. Theres a second item on consent i dont know. So on john the new director of contracts so the way well treat this it was approved in may and wait to figure out from the Budget Committee what the best process in the future. Yes. Yes. Great, thank you. If i could make a incision i think the important point of visibility will be around when and if and how often a 10 percent contingency is deployed not as a consent item but not monthly or quarterly but good for us from the responsible point of view to be aware the 10 percent is deployed on one program or another not all but a sense of a year how often the 10 percent gets used. All right. We supposed to take action and not discuss those items on the Consent Agenda with that, could we we could take that item off and approve the one item of 5 thousand dollars on the Consent Agenda i need a motion. So moved. Moved and seconded for the disability all in favor, say i. I. Opposed . Is have it so the that item passes could we have approval the september 2, 2015, Meeting Minutes . So moved.
