Summary
The Commission unanimously approved the August minutes and the consent calendar; staff explained an ARG Conservation Services "as-needed" contractor pool used for installations and conservation that will return to the Commission when individual contracts exceed $500,000.
The Commission approved two procedural items at the Sept. 6 meeting. Commissioner Hakimi moved to approve the August minutes; Commissioner Farris seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Later, the Commission considered the consent calendar, which included a contract for ARG Conservation Services as part of an "as-needed" pool for installation and conservation work. A staff member explained the pool was established through an RFP and that "when we enter into contract for an amount that exceeds $500,000 we need to come to the commission for review and approval." Commissioner Shiota asked clarifying questions about whether the contract functions as a retainer or for specific projects; staff said it is a pool used for multiple projects and that individual contracts above $500,000 will return to the Commission.
Commissioner Chiotta moved to approve the consent calendar; Commissioner Mosley seconded. Public comment on the consent calendar was closed and the motion carried unanimously.
