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 48 and 49.

Marie may have a response, but I want to 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 overall question, so I don't know uh when you like for me to raise it.

You want to 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, but we'll 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 yes?

Um yes, number agenda item 35 and 39, please.

35 and 39.

Yes, okay.

Any others?

All right.

Do I have a motion to approve consent items 30 through 53 with the following exceptions 35, 39, 48, and 49?

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 34 instead of 35.

Got it.

Okay.

So let's go to 34.

Um, landscape equipment maintenance and repair.

Ms.

Johnson, you asked for to review this.

Okay.

Comment on it.

Thank you.

So this is um regarding a uh 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 uh outreach.

I wanted to know if fire contact 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 that anything even 10,000 above, we reach out specifically.

So before there's always been a requirement for the larger, but I believe y'all instituted even 10,000, 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 CBI or who reaches out to C BI?

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 someone 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 sum, and we're working on it 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 certified that was signaled to CBI to go out and say, okay, this is an 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 that these gonna be short.

Individual departments don't reach out your department or procurement.

No, yes, ma'am, they do.

Okay.
