Lara DeLaney presented the staff report. Rick Stein and Roger Renn from Arts Orange County also commented regarding the timeline. The Committee decided to postpone interviews until its November meeting to allow an additional two weeks for recruitment, particularly within District III, and because one application was submitted timely but received by staff too late for inclusion in the meeting packet. An unidentified caller expressed appreciation about doing extra recruitment to attract a District III applicant and asked how the Steering Committee will be configured. Chair Burgis confirmed that the seven people will be appointed to the Steering Committee. |

Chair Burgis asked if the history graph could be expanded to include pre-COVID purchasing experience and then shared with the County's economist for comment at the annual Board retreat. An unidentified caller commented about County departments that reported zero contracts awarded to SBEs and applauded certain departments that had high performance. Cynthia commented that not all small businesses have been identified through the County's registration process and that the SBE program applies only to contracts under $100,000. |
