What consent items are being voted on and how are the motions handled?
Ask uh Marie, is there um any consent? Oh, I'm gonna ask the council, is there any consent items for a separate vote? Miss Mayfield? Thank you, Mayor. I have a question for forty eight and forty nine. Marie may have a response, but I wanna get a follow up on those. Thank you. All right. Are there any ones that for uh Mr. Mitchell?
Mayor, it it's It's an overall question, so I don't know uh whim would you like for me to raise it. You wanna wait till we get through all the items being pulled. I it's overall conversation about the consent. that just is troubling to me.
Okay. Okay but we'll d we'll we'll go through it tonight and then come back to you about that. Um and so the next um does is there any Miss Johnson? Yes. Uh yes. Number agenda item thirty five Thirty nine, please. Thirty five and thirty nine. Yes. Okay. Any others? All right. Do I have a motion to approve consent items thirty through fifty three with the following exceptions thirty five, thirty nine, forty eight, and forty nine.
So moved.
All right, we have a motion and a second. All in favor, please raise your hands. Anyone opposed? Mr. Mitchell opposes. All right. So now we'll go into those items that were re asked for a separate vote. Mayor, I'm sorry, just a clarification. I meant 34, not 35. That's great. Okay. All right. So can we correct that billy on the um re 34 instead of thirty-five? Got it. Okay. So let's go to thirty four on landscape equipment maintenance and repair. Miss Johnson, you asked for Res to review this. Oh comment on it. Thank you. So this is um regarding a a contract. I wanted to ask about the the CBI goals. So according to this, the contract goals were not established on this contract because there were no certified MWSBEs available to provide the products for the contract.
So I have a question about the process and the the uh outreach. I wanted to know if fire Contact d do the departments contact CBI when these RFPs are going to be
Yes, ma'am. And there's a formal requirement. I believe y'all instituted it several years ago, but anything um even ten thousand above we reach out specifically. So before there's always been a requirement for the larger, but I believe y'all instituted even ten thousand, which is informal. We get multiple quotes and we reach out to um certified vendors even for that.
So the actual departments that are requesting the the RFPs reach out to C B I or who reaches out to C B I
So it's either. So there's a system and some people have people that know how to use the system enough, the internal system and I forgot the name of it, BTG now. But If not, if they don't have somebody that knows how to use that, then like I always reach out to Kim Tibbs and CBI and she pulls them for me. So yes, there's a system we have all the registered vendors and also we do this some and we're working on even more within CBI to do more outreach of okay, what procurements are coming down the line that we need to be aware of and work towards getting more participation by more people. registered than are registered. Like especially like these would be a red flag. If we have something that nobody's certified, that would signal to CBI to go out and say, Okay, this is a area that the city has a need for that we need to grow up businesses for or do more outreach to encourage vendors to register.
Yes, ma'am. So the these gonna be short. Individual departments don't reach out. Your depart or or procurement No, yes, ma'am, they do. Okay. That was just saying the smaller departments like mine, I reach out to CBI to help me get who I need to reach out to. But everybody has access. So they push Lake Charlotte Water, everybody they have procurement folks that push 'em out to everybody that's certified. And the vendors go in and certify by code.
