Items Deferred  
  • Commissioner Garcia deferred the request to participate in the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative-Joint Purchasing Program as he noted that the MWRD and the program are not for profit, and he wants to see if participation goals can be applied to big purchase items.  The staff responded that goals are not used for services under this program.  He wants more details on the program.   #19 23-1220
