Additions or Changes to the Agenda <br /> Chair Jacobs noted that there was one proposed addition to the agenda. He <br /> referenced the aqua sheet labeled "Item 5-n — Employment Agreement for Michael Talbert— <br /> Interim Orange County Manager". <br /> Chair Jacobs said there was also a suggestion to remove Item 4-d, Review of Proposed <br /> Operations Agreement for the Rogers Road Community Center due to a large number of last <br /> minute edits to a legal document. He would like to refer this item to the staff attorney for <br /> review. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Rich to add <br /> "Item 5-n — Employment Agreement for Michael Talbert— Interim Orange County Manager". <br /> to the agenda and Table Item 4-d - Review of Proposed Operations Agreement for the Rogers <br /> Road Community Center and refer to the County Attorney. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked what the process would be if item 4-d were <br /> removed and if a timetable could be suggested for bringing this item back. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier asked for clarification on the last minute changes. <br /> Chair Jacobs said the Board received a large number proposed changes to the <br /> agreement that morning from attorneys representing RENA. He said it seems inappropriate to <br /> go through a legal document without legal analysis. He hopes the Board could have this item <br /> on the October 1St meeting agenda. He said the Board also has a sheet for bids on the center, <br /> which are grossly out of line with what was anticipated. He said there will need to be <br /> discussion on changes moving forward. <br /> Commissioner Price asked how and where to submit further questions regarding this <br /> item. <br /> Chair Jacobs said questions should be submitted to either Michael Talbert or John <br /> Roberts. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier asked if this means the process will start over with a new <br /> operational agreement. <br />
