The Board of Control oversees the selection of vendors and their compensation for city work, and the sale of land parcels. Here's the meeting agenda: https://t.co/4KWn2sZH7s

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 4/12

The Finance Dept. has two youth programs whose funding needs approved, Teen Enterprise & @recesscle.
[Transparency: @recesscle was founded by Gen's friend Alex.] https://t.co/a1EBrEqf3U

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 5/12

And what she said is true, @recesscle has been working with @CLEMetroSchools for years now, and recently expanded their services; this funding will assist in implementing new play/recreation programs.

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 6/12

The resolution is adopted. Gimme a minute while I call my boy and let him know! 😂

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 7/12

Moving on, Capital Projects Director Jimmy DeRosa is asking the Board to reject a bid for repairs to City Hall's roof and facade because the contractor did not submit bid forms.

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 8/12

DeRosa does want approval for improvements to the area of Circle Square. https://t.co/GaLzdzOyp3

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 9/12

Another Board member asks about the RFP process, if it's too cumbersome, or complex, if that could be why the bid for the roof work wasn't completed? https://t.co/P7SPZP6rgA

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 10/12

Another board member responds that he does want to take a look at the entire RFP process. There will soon be a pilot program where everything about it is done electronically. https://t.co/jci6nyJgnK

Gennifer Harding-Gosnell @GenniferwithaG_ 11/12

Both resolutions are approved. Moving on to Public Works, where approval is needed to allow a valet service to operate in the City Hall Rotunda Saturday, 3 Sept. for a wedding. This is also approved.
