Karen White, Chair of the Personnel & Finance Committee opened the meeting with full membership
present. The one item on the agenda was the presentation of the Diversity Purchasing and
Development Participation Report for 2014. George King, the City Director of Purchasing, provided a
handout (attached) of the overhead presentation.
However prior to the start of the presentation, Karen took a moment to thank Valerie Schey for her
service as the Council representative to the Diversity Utilization Board (DUB) in 2014.
George then proceeded with the presentation.
Henry Davis said one of the obstacles preventing small businesses and contractors getting work from the
city results from the practice "bundling." He said the city "bundles" small jobs into one large bid the
small guy does not qualify to bid.
George invited Henry to discuss this claim at a later date.
With no other questions, Karen adjourned the meeting at 5:24 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
