REGULAR MEETING DEPARTMENT HEAD PUBLIC HEALTH
Robin Read, Public Health Administrator stated that she has spoken
with Bruce Tabb, Elmview and he has requested an Amendment to the
Elmview Contract and would like the requirement to use an open bid
process be voided. Bruce Tabb, Elmview stated that they have someone
familiar with the clientele at Elmview that has done this type of
work in the past and he would like to have the service provided by
people familiar with the environment the work will be conducted in.
He stated that it’s a lot of work going out for bid and he doesn’t
have the time. He stated that timeliness is essential with this
project and they have some in-house services that they will be no
longer providing which is consuming a lot of his time right now as
well.
Chairman Jewell stated that he is fine with the requirement being
relived. Commissioner Osiadacz stated that she doesn’t feel strongly
one way or the other. Commissioner O’Brien stated that he originally
requested that requirement be added and explained why he feels it’s
important. However, due to other circumstances that Elmview is
currently working with he would be supportive of this request as
it’s important to move forward.
Robin Read, Public Health Administrator stated that she would work
on getting the amendment before the Board for official action.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
