REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado referenced legislation she sponsored regarding the creation of a standard agreement and inquired whether the items on today�s agenda would be utilizing this format.
ACA Smith advised that some of the items contemplated the use of a lease and development agreement which was being developed by the department. He clarified that the legislation referenced by Commissioner Regalado was specific to competitively bid items and noted none of the items on today�s agenda met this criteria.
Commissioner Regalado contended that while the items were not competitively bid, using the same form agreement would streamline the process making it more efficient. She commented on the benefits of the standard agreement noting staff vetted the financial aspects which helped speed up processing.
Mr. Kogon advised that the standardized agreement could be used for Agenda Items 2C and 3A, however it was not recommended for Agenda Item 2A.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Committee proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, along with Agenda Items 2B, 2C and 3A simultaneously, as presented.
Chairwoman Bastien requested the foregoing proposed resolution be advanced to the November 18, 2025, Board meeting.
