Commissioner Price said some of the advertising is homogenous, and she suggested <br /> that they might seek out more diversity. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if Orange County has a policy to ensure that outside vendors <br /> are fair and equal to their employees and pay a living wage. <br /> John Roberts said there was a recent statute that said local governments cannot <br /> require certain things from contractors. 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 <br /> at this again. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if it is illegal to ask a vendor if they have certain issues, <br /> such as with LGBT. <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.
