He said he will research this further. <br />Chair Jacobs said Orange County has looked at trying to require all vendors to pay a <br />living wage, but this policy has not been adopted. He said it is good to have the attorney look at <br />this again. <br />Commissioner Price asked if it is illegal to ask a vendor if they have certain issues, such <br />as with LG BT. <br />John Roberts said it would not be illegal to ask the question, but it would potentially be <br />against statute not to select a vendor due to something of that nature. <br />Chair Jacobs said staff could do a google search to identify any issues. <br />John Roberts said staff could do that. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br />approve a professional services agreement for tourism marketing and advertising with Clean <br />Design and authorized the Chair to sign. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />a.
