Council President Gleason - How many times it was advertised in Journal news?
Purchasing Agent Eversley - Once.
Council President Gleason - So, this does not qualify for public notice. Requested guidance from
Corporation Counsel.
Corporation Counsel Johnson - This does not legally comply, it should not be open.
Comptroller Morton - Who put notice in the newspaper?
Purchasing Agent Eversley - I did. Was not aware of the qualifications.
Comptroller Morton - When did we abandon the process of the City Clerk posting all notices?
Acting Council President Browne - The City Clerk does not put in all notices. They have their own
secretary who does their notices.
Clerk Walters - Land Use and URA put in their own advertisement. We used to for DPW, not sure when
the transition happened
Comptroller Morton - We should go back to city clerk putting in all city notices to make sure it is done
properly. The city clerk is the official record keeper. This is not legally noticed; it should go back out.
Acting Council President Browne - how all municipalities are doing this there is a lack of training and
we know the laws and regulations.
Commissioner Bush -So, to recap the entire process, been with the city 15 years along with Curtis
woods. Morton is correct. Public and advertisement part, it went through the clerk’s office. Journal
news accounts being frozen. If we do not open today and wait, we can’t pave the streets.
Mayor Patterson-Howard - I agree with our comptroller, this is a conversation we were having back and
forth. There were 6 or 7 accounts and we had to track down which accounts were paid. We did discuss
that it would be through city clerk. Right now, we have HUD paving money and it is time sensitive, if
we do not spend it, we lose it. We have three bids, it was noticed in the Journal News.
Corporation Counsel Johnson - The bids are sealed, they are unopened. Send a letter to the companies
that submitted that the date will be changed. They do not need to re-submit. The only difference is that
other companies will have an opportunity to submit. Comply with the second notice in the journal news,
then have the opening.
Clerk Walters - Same issue with RFQ, all three can be noticed.

On the question: Commissioner Morton - Why are we doing
this?
Response: Mayor Patterson-Howard - The federal
government mandates. This can not be done in bathrooms.
Commissioner Bush - There is no other space. We were
notified by HR that we had to create a space for a lactation
pod.
Comptroller Morton - Are we in compliance with the number
of employees register at 1 Roosevelt Sq, than other
departments are registered at this address?
Acting President Browne - Counsel?
Corporation Counsel Johnson - We were not asked to review.
Comptroller Morton - I am asking because of the cost, but in
my position I have to check. When I found out that the
number to fit the requirements. We do not have the number
of employees registered at City Hall.
Acting Mayor Gleason - How did we get this and can it be
returned?
Commissioner Bush - No.
Mayor Patterson-Howard - It is a requirement for staff in a
public building. This has to be opened as an option to the
public. The Doles Center has a space and can be available to
the public. The DPW canal does not have anyone working
there or the public that would need a space. The number of
staff of childbearing age is located in City Hall. This was
worked on by HR and the Chief of Staff.
Comptroller Morton - I do not agree, due diligence was not
done.
Acting Council President Browne - I concur with the
Comptroller, I'm not sure if due diligence was done. We have
to find a way to correct that in the future.
