a) Approve and authorize the General Services Director to research and report on County fiscal allocations to Local Vendors;
b) Approve and authorize the General Services Director to continue 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 2014; and
e) Determine that the acceptance of the update is not a project as defined by State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
