Process for the House of Representatives Cafeteria by the
Committee:</SPAN></B><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> Constance
Zanger gave a history of the facility as discussed in the last special meeting
of the committee. Information was provided on the previous operator serving the
facility. The facility is classified as a cafeteria therefore; an operator with
cafeteria certification is required. An alternate process will be needed for
selecting a new operator as only one is cafeteria certified at present. An
Ad-Hoc group consisting of Rob Essenberg, Andrea Nelson, Constance Zanger, James
Hull, and James Chaney, met to identify a mechanism for having a blind presence
at the facility while maintaining a skilled candidate to operate it. They
drafted a solicitation and interview questions. Some members indicated that they
did not receive that information. The solicitation document was read by
Constance Zanger. Concerns were shared among members which ranged from how legal
the process is, having an outside entity run the location, to violations against
the promulgated rules. After discussion, Andrea Nelson made the following motion
which was seconded by Rob Essenberg:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

was taken. Greg Keathley, Andrea Nelson, Rob Essenberg, and Shane Jackson, voted
yes. Risa Patrick-Langtry, Garnet Prentice, and Matilda Steele, voted no. Kevin
Tomczak abstained. The motion passed with a 4 to 3 to 1 vote. Shane Jackson
asked Constance Zanger and James Hull to inform the committee who is getting
cafeteria certified for the February meeting. Rob Essenberg also asked the
agency to provide Garnet Prentice with sample teaming partner arrangements from
other states. The interview questions were not presented. However, the motion
that passed along with the solicitation and questions will be E-mailed to
committee members and Commissioners. If members have additional questions or
they would like to remove a question, they were encouraged to forward them to
James Hull, who will have a final draft by the February meeting. Discussion took
place on the Commission Board meeting on Wednesday, February 8, 2012. James
CHANEY inquired after the Commission Board votes on it, how soon the facility
will be available on the bid line. Constance Zanger reported that she expects
the facility to be on the bid line on Tuesday, February 14, 2012, provided the
board passes the motion on Wednesday. Shane Jackson moved into public comment
which was seconded.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
