Commissioner McKee said he pulled this because the Board has an item on the regular agenda that relates to this item, and it is out of the order of procedure to approve plaques on a building before approving a policy. Commissioner Price agreed with this. Commissioner McKee suggested this item be tabled until after the policy has been decided. Commissioner Gordon said she would like a timeline of when this would come back. Michael Talbert said this would probably come back in January or February. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to table this item until staff comes back with a policy, no later than the meeting scheduled for February 20, 2014. Commissioner Dorosin said the properties listed in the consent agenda are items that are already completed. He said the new policy would be anything done today and forward. Commissioner Gordon said she has no objection to approving the plaques, as the buildings are already built. She said if this does not delay the plaques too long, it could be acceptable. VOTE: Ayes, 4 (Chair Jacobs, Commissioner Gordon, Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Price); Nays, 3 (Commissioner Dorosin, Commissioner Rich, and Commissioner Pelissier) Commissioner Gordon made a motion to reconsider the motion, and the Commissioners then reconsidered the motion: A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Chair Jacobs to approve the plaques listed in agenda item 6-f, as proposed in the materials and recommendation for this agenda item. They will be similar to the plaque at the Link Center. In response to questions from Commissioner Price about what the motion meant, Chair Jacobs clarified that the plaques will be the same as the one at the Link Center, and the names on the plaques will be the commissioners who were serving when the buildings were completed. Commissioner Price clarified that there will not be an official vote on Item 7-d. Chair Jacobs said there will be a vote to give staff direction on this item. Commissioner McKee said Item 7-d seemed out of process if the Board is approving the plaques before adopting the policy. He said the $22,500 is not a large amount of money, considering the budget; however it is a large amount of money when considering the fact that it could be transferred to Department of Social Services, Child Care Services, the Social Justice Fund or some other area of need. He said it is an equity issue for him. Chair Jacobs said there will be a request related to social services' needs at the next meeting, and it will come out of a fund set aside for the purposes Commissioner McKee articulated. VOTE: Ayes, 5 (Chair Jacobs, Commissioner Gordon, Commissioner Rich, Commissioner Pelissier, Commissioner Dorosin); Nays, 2 (Commissioner Price and Commissioner McKee) 6-h.
