She said rolling cart statistics, in the rural part 9 of the County, are favorable. She said 14,500 properties were approved, 7,500 responses 10 received, and 6,840 carts were requested.

She read a possible statement that could be included. 27 Commissioner Rich asked if there is a reason the proposed statement references 28 veterans of the "Vietnam era" specifically. 29 Commissioner Jacobs said he would like to remove that wording, and include all 30 Veterans. 31 32 A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to 33 approve the adoption of the Orange Public Transportation (OPT) Procurement Policy and 34 Procedures Guide with changes in the anti-discrimination section to include the following: 35 36 "The County prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, national origin, 37 religion, creed, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, familial status, age, 38 disability, political affiliation, and disabled veteran status as provided by law." 39 40 Commissioner Rich proposed a friendly amendment to include this anti-discrimination 41 language in all County documents. 42 Commissioner Jacobs said he likely has no problem with this friendly amendment, but 43 would like to see it in writing at a future meeting while passing Commissioner Price's petition 44 this evening. 45 46 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 47 48 a.
