Chair Jacobs said that the County Commissioners sent Carol Woods a letter of <br />thanks for pledging to financially support this project. <br />Chair Jacobs said that since the County has more control over this project than others, <br />then the County could recruit minority contractors. He asked if this was being done <br />aggressively. Pam Jones said that there is still a 10°~ participation goal in all construction <br />projects. The County works through the HUB (a State government listing) and advertises in <br />minority contractor papers. The 10°~ target has always been met. <br />Commissioner Carey asked if the school systems achieve their target and Pam Jones <br />said that she did not know. Chair Jacobs would like to aspire to reach higher than 10% minority <br />contractor involvement. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked some clarifying questions about the present rental space. <br />Pam Jones said that the County would be entirely vacating this 6,000-square foot building. <br />Chair Jacobs said that the Friends of the Sportsplex would have its first meeting on <br />December 6th.
