As set forth therein under the Scope of <br /> Work, the Contractor will, beginning during the summer break, convene and facilitate a series <br /> of 6-8 anticipated meetings with the County's designated Communications Committee, to be <br /> comprised of an Assistant County Manager, departmental representatives selected by the <br /> County Manager, and two County Commissioners designated by the Board of County <br /> Commissioners. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact of engaging Rod Visser to complete Phase Three is <br /> not to exceed $20,000. A total of$12,800 will be provided from the FY 2013-14 Manager's <br /> Miscellaneous budget and the remainder will be allocated from unexpended funds in the <br /> County <br /> Manager's FY 2013-14 budget. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Rich for <br /> the Board to: <br /> 1) Establish a Communications Committee comprised of County department <br /> representatives to be designated by the Manager and two Commissioners appointed by the <br /> Board; <br /> 2) authorize the Manager to execute a contract, and any amendments thereto, with Rod Visser <br /> to work with the Committee at a cost not to exceed $20,000. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Commissioner Price volunteered for the committee, and Commissioner porosin <br /> suggested Commissioner Rich. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked about the time of day when the 6-8 meetings would <br /> be held. <br /> Rod Visser said the timing would be up to the committee, and he is flexible. <br /> Commissioner Rich said she would be happy to be on the committee... <br /> Commissioner Gordon volunteered in place of Commissioner Price, who withdrew. <br /> A motion was made to appoint Commissioner Rich and Commissioner Gordon to the <br /> communications committee. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Chair Jacobs requested that the agendas for all of the work groups be shared with all <br /> members of the Board of County Commissioners in the interest of sharing information and <br /> allowing participation of Commissioners who may be interested in attending the meetings. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said she thinks this is a good idea, and it is good for the <br /> Commissioners to notify the group of their intention to attend, so there will not be too many <br /> Commissioners present. <br /> h.
