Title
Consider recommendations regarding Local Vendor Outreach Program Report for 2013, as follows:
a) Receive and file the annual report on the results of the Local Vendor Outreach Program for calendar year 2013;
b) Approve and authorize the General Services Director to continue to research and implement ways to expand the Local Vendor Outreach Program to increase local vendor participation;
c) Approve and authorize the General Services Director to research procurement system software and to report back to the Board on upgrade options to enhance reporting features of participation in the Local Vendor Outreach Program;
d) Direct the General Services Director to report back to the Board on the Local Vendor Outreach Program research in the spring of 2015; and
e) Determine that acceptance of the annual report is not a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
