CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Okay, we'll call the emergency meeting of
the Board of County Commissioners to order here on February 2nd at o-
COMMISSIONER NORRIS: April, maybe?
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: February, April, pick a month. I probably
would have said 1997.
1999. I'll open us with a brief word of prayer and then we'll
have the pledge of allegiance to the flag.
Heavenly Father, we pray for your guidance as we address
difficult issues that come before this board. We pray that your hand
will be on all the decisions that we make, and that you will be with
us and guide us. And we pray that in your Son's holy name, amen.
(Pledge of allegiance was recited in unison.)
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Okay. Mr. Constantine, I'm hoping you have
something to talk to us about.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I do. Madam Chairman, we had some bad
news yesterday. Not wholly surprising, but unfortunately bad news
from Good Wheels, who is both the coordinator and provider for our
transportation disadvantaged. And while we have bumps in the road
sometimes with county services, you know, if it's parks or some of
those things, it happens and you deal with it. This unfortunately has
some strong consequences for some folks who really need the
assistance.
And to be clear on what will and won't happen from Good Wheels,
Good Wheels will continue for the next 30 days to provide the Medicaid
service, and that is those people who are most in need and for whom
Good Wheels is reimbursed by Medicaid. But that is if you go for
dialysis, that type of thing. They will continue to be served for the
next 30 days.
There will be a very limited schedule during that 30 days, about
one-sixth of what has been provided right now, about 100 trips a week,
as opposed to about 600 and some odd trips a week, to just the regular
services that have been provided, people needing trips for medical
purposes but didn't necessarily qualify for Medicaid. All other
services have been suspended.
Yesterday local coordinating board had an emergency meeting, at
which Good Wheels made this announcement, and we took three actions:
One, we requested that the state TD recognize this situation as an
emergency; two, we asked that the county take over on an interim basis
as coordinator of the service -- there is the coordinater who manages
it, there's a provider who actually goes out and drives -- and then
suggested that the county hire Intellitran, who operates Lee and
several other counties around Florida, as well as in some other
states, to serve as manager in the interim basis. In that capacity,
it would be their responsibility to take the calls, schedule the
calls, dispatch the calls, actually make sure that they have brokered
Page 2
April 2, 1999
for proriders. And so that if Yellow Cab is the appropriate one to
pick up, great. If it needs to be a van, great, and so on.
We're looking at that really on a 90-day time frame. Concurrent
with that, we would have an RFP go out, and by July 1, which is the
beginning of the state's year, we would hope to have the new contract
in place.
Assuming the board ratifies today the action that the LCB took
yesterday, Intellitran can have some offices open and people here by
midweek next week, up and running. We can actually have within about
seven to 10 days a base level of service of transportation beyond the
Medicaid situation, and then within probably two to three weeks after
that, so 21 to 28 days overall have full service running again.
And the reason -- in short, the reason why we want the county to
serve in the interim basis as the coordinator is there are a number of
steps we can take procedurally and bureaucratically with the state to
make all this unfold a lot quicker than if we were to go get a private
entity to serve in that capacity.
And, you know, we're essentially doing the same thing by taking
that role on for ourselves and then hiring a manager, because we
obviously don't have the staff ourselves. But just from a
bureaucratic standpoint, it's going to allow us to move this on and
respond to the emergency more efficiently.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Yes, Commissioner Berry.
COMMISSIONER BERRY: First question. Who's Intellitran? How do
we know about them?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Intellitran manages or serves as
coordinator in Lee County. Good Wheels has -- was both coordinator
and prorider here. There are several counties in which they are only
a prorider. There's someone in Intellitran may call and say we need
you to pick up these people this week. At that end of the business,
Good Wheels has done reasonably well, but the management end, as we
know, we've been concerned about for months. We've talked about an
MPO.
But it's as bad as we had imagined, and maybe worse from a
monetary standpoint. They're nearly $400,000 in the hole, so --
COMMISSIONER BERRY: Who's got the buses, Tim?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: The -- it's a fleet of about 25 buses
that have served Collier County. 20 or 21 -- and we may know that
exact number today, but yesterday we weren't sure which it was -- are
actually owned by the state, who provides this service.
So part of what we do in the next few days, assuming we take this
action -- this is part of where it's easier if it's the county -- is
transfer title to those from Good Wheels over to the county. We --
COMMISSIONER BERRY: I see.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: -- can have that done by mid-week next
week.
COMMISSIONER BERRY: That was one of my big questions, where do
we get the vehicles? And I didn't know who owned -- how that was, you
know, structured.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: We'll be short by a few vehicles, but
we can make that up with some other proriders.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Commissioner Norris?
COMMISSIONER NORRIS: You mentioned that they're $400,000 in the
hole. What do you actually mean by that? Are they $400,000 over
their projected budget?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: They don't -- we don't have any
Page 3
April 2, 1999
responsibility for any of that, first and foremost. They were losing
money on their Collier operation each month in the vicinity of 25 to
$30,000. They were spending more than we were taking in.
Good Wheels runs operations of different types in here and Lee
and Hendry and I think even Glades, and so that kind of got watered
down as they looked at the overall picture. But when they broke that
down -- we just talked about it at the MPO meeting a week ago, how
successful the Immokalee route was in multi-loading and all.
What no one, except apparently the management at Good Wheels
realized, was they had not yet been approved for that and were being
reimbursed zero dollars for that. So they were making that run every
day and the demand was there every day; they were getting no
reimbursement from the federal agencies for that, so they were losing
a ton of money. And just a number of managerial missteps. So them as
a not-for-profit corporation are in a lot of trouble financially right
now.
And one of the questions yesterday toward the end of our meeting
at the LCB was, is there a way for us to go after Good Wheels and try
-- for the service failure that will happen in the next few days. And
the answer is maybe, and we can play with that. But the result of
that would probably cause them more harm, and in turn those people who
are using the service in Lee County or Hendry or Glades would be
harmed every bit as much as our people. So we may want to look
long-term at how we can do anything we need to, but --
COMMISSIONER BERRY: I'm surprised about that Immokalee route,
that there was no reimbursement, because I was told on a one-on-one
meeting with one of the people from Good Wheels that they had obtained
a grant to be able to do that particular run. So that's rather
surprising that that is the situation. I'm sorry to hear that, but --
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: The -- it sounds to me like the plan you
guys have come up with is wonderful. And I'm thrilled to hear that
you were able to hash something out as quickly as you did.
My question is going to have to do with what can we do in the 21
to 28-day period and -- you know, to make up for the shortfall?
Commissioner Carter sent us a memo. He couldn't be with us today
because he's out of town, but he did raise some really good issues in
this memo about what are -- are there some possibilities of using, for
example, EMS, fire, police, or leased vehicles, or, you know, you guys
can read these for yourselves.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yeah, the point -- a couple of points
are very good on here. And he said, you know, talking to some of our
local service clubs --
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Right.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: -- Kiwanas, Shriners, American Legion
and those. Our Veterans folks, for example, already do take veterans
around. There may be a way to double up some of those multi-load --
some of those services.
We agreed yesterday, just for the coming seven days anyway, while
there's very, very limited service, to serve somewhat as a clearing
house here just for volunteers. And we've got a pile of calls from
people either calling in saying boy, I drive into town every day from
Golden Gate anyway, I can take a couple of people, or some community
response. And I think between now and Monday we need to step that up
to another level with these service groups and anyone else that's
appropriate.
The real challenge is going to be the next seven days. I think
Page 4
April 2, 1999
when -- once Intellitran -- if we choose that, once Intellitran is up
and running, they'll be still a limited service, but the folks who are
absolute in dire need right now will get taken care of first. Some of
those other services that are important but not life-threatening, the
Vo-Tech folks, for some of our special ed. and other --
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: The guy in the news room with his job, I
mean, does he -- where -- for example, where does he fall into this?
The next seven days he's going to be out of luck. In the 21 to 28-day
period, is he the kind of situation that we need to find some help for
or
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: May well be.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Yeah. I mean, you know, that just seemed to
be a nice little example of a non-medical -- COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Right.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: -- non-indigent kind of call that we needed
to -- so --
COMMISSIONER NORRIS: Are the -- if we have volunteers to drive
these vehicles, are they going to need something other than a standard
Florida operator's license?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Actually, the volunteers we've spoken
are more in the way of using their own vehicle. They come to and from
town. Intellitran will look at -- for those vehicles that are being
transferred over to us, they'll have appropriate drivers for that. I
suspect some of the Good Wheels folks will immediately get picked up
for that.
COMMISSIONER BERRY: On the personal vehicle, from that
standpoint, who carries the liability for these people being
transported, the people owning the cars, or does the county?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Unfortunately, people owning the car.
And that question came up yesterday and, you know, the analogy I used
is I've got a friend who's a physician and he said, you know, on more
than one occasion people have said, "Is there a doctor around?" And
the first thing that goes through his mind is gee, am I going to get
sued because I helped somebody? And he still chooses to help them --
COMMISSIONER BERRY: Right.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: -- but it does occur to you. And
that's a real risk, but we hope one that people in the community are
willing to take.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: My question I guess for staff -- I was
looking around for Leo, because it's more his department -- but it is,
is the suggestion of EMS -- is there any possibility of using EMS
personnel or EMS transportation somehow? You know, I don't have any
idea, but it's one we have access to.
MR. McNEES: I hate to just immediately say no, there's no
possibility. And I guess I'd need to delve a little bit deeper. I
think one of the liability questions that we probably at least need to
ask is when we do assume more than -- when we do assume a dispatcher
type of a role -- and I think probably the volunteer coordination is a
great suggestion, and we can go to work on maybe making the public
aware people can call, and if we can begin to work with volunteers.
But I think there is a liability where -- a little more so when we
begin to be the dispatcher.
And if something were to happen, they wouldn't probably just go
after the driver, they would perhaps come after us. And I'm sure that
can be dealt with, but we need to recognize that, I think, going in.
The EMS question I think is one that we'll have to talk to those
Page 5
April 2, 1999
folks. It's one item that has just come up. And, I mean, obviously
some availability concerns if a unit is involved in a completely
non-emergency -- not to imply not important, but a non-emergency
transport, and there are -- you know, an emergency does arise. So I
think we can ask that question and have some maybe better answers for
you by the first of the week.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Tim, the Intelli -- what are they?
COMMISSIONER BERRY: Intellitran.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Intellitran? They will be available to
serve as dispatchers as early as when, if we select them to that?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Literally as soon as we've got
vehicles available. They're -- what they're looking to do, if we go
ahead with that, they're going to locate office space -- they're
already working on it -- but locate office space in the county over
the weekend and try to get their own computer system. They actually
write their own software, they use that all over the country. But you
remember one of the complaints has been gee, the software doesn't
work.
Probably not only do these guys have software that works, they've
designed it themselves, so there's no excuse along the way.
But they can have that in and up and running by next week. And,
you know, the question is how fast can we get those titles transferred
and make all those things happen. But they can be dispatching within
that seven-day window, realistically.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: And I wonder if, could their dispatching
include volunteers? Otherwise, what's going to be the coordinating
agency for volunteers in the 21 to 28-days?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yeah, I would think as soon as they're
on line, they clearly become the appropriate place to do that. The
question is just what we do in those days in between to make sure that
the folks who absolutely need to get where they're going are still
taken care of.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: For example, over the weekend. I mean,
because if we -- if they even get set up, as of Monday, can they be
the place where we tell volunteers to call?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: If they're set up by Monday, yeah.
I think as soon as they are at a location and have a number and
are there, then they're fine.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: So how are we going to communicate this?
That's the piece I guess we have to figure out right now is how do we
communicate with the public, both those who are in need of
transportation and those who are willing to provide.
COMMISSIONER BERRY: I don't know, I see a lot of TV people
sitting out here. Seems like a pretty logical first source.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yeah.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: As a first start. But where do we tell them
to call?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Well, for the time being we've gone
ahead and told them to put the calls in to our office. And I think
really that dovetails fine. If it's Monday or if it's Tuesday or if
it's Wednesday, it doesn't matter what day, our staff are going to be
the first ones -- our staff is going to be the first one to know when
the other office is up and running. So if the calls are coming here
and we can put them right through to the appropriate number, then
we're fine. Doesn't matter which day it is that way.
I would think through our friends in the media and also through
Page 6
April 2, 1999
our own little Channel 54, letting people know to keep and eye on
Channel 54 next week, we ought to be able to post that as soon as we
know.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: So if we have people who have an emergency
today or Monday, then they're going to contact the County Commission
office and we are going to try to hook them up with a volunteer.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: That is correct.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: And over the weekend, what should -- what
shall we tell people, call the Sheriff's Office, call EMS, call -- got
any ideas, anybody? Yeah, somebody in -- a staff person who always --
they have the best ideas.
MR. DeCANDIS: I think the difficulty is --
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: This is actually true of Intellitran.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Oh, wonderful. If you'd come to the
microphone, I '-
MR. DeCANDIS: When we were --
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: If you'd identify yourself for the record.
MR. DeCANDIS: My name is Drew DeCandis from Intellitran.
THE COURT REPORTER: Would you spell that, please.
THE COURT REPORTER: D-e-C-A-N-D-I-S.
When I spoke with the -- when I spoke yesterday with the TD
board, local TD board, we said that it would take us a while to get up
and running, but let me just tell you -- update you on what happened
the last day since then, if we can -- if we get started.
I met with Good Wheels staff, I met with Good Wheels. We're
going to take over their operation lock, stock and barrel come
tomorrow, if the contract is signed. We're going to move into their
offices, we're going to pay the rent, we're going to hire their staff,
we're going to bring in some additional staff, we're going to use the
existing computer system, we're going to use the existing software.
We're going to move the driver, assuming -- this afternoon at
4:00 we have a meeting with Good Wheels in which, by the way, you guys
don't know this yet, but I need some representative of the county at
the meeting so we can transfer the vehicles over.
Vehicles are going to -- there's a meeting at 6:00 tonight with
the drivers to try to move them to two carriers within Collier County.
Yellow Cab and Checker Cab. We will enter into an agreement with the
drivers on Monday. We'll pick up the vehicles, but be working for two
other companies. We will take all the internal staff. They will work
for us.
Now, I'm not going to absolutely guarantee to you that Monday
we're going to run 100 percent the service. Schedules were already
done by Good Wheels, which limited the trips, reduced them. I'm not
sure I can recreate them for Monday. But Tuesday we're going to go --
probably have full-blown service again, okay? So if the contract gets
signed, that's what's going to happen.
I don't know about Monday. Monday might be a little chaotic. But
it will be one day. Tuesday we should be able to put everything back
to where it was. We then will then move in with our -- our staff will
also be here Monday. We will also move in -- start addressing the
hardware, software issues and move everything out. We actually are
working an arrangement just to buy everything in their office.
They're going to move out, we're going to take over the rent. Staff
are going to stay there. They will almost be transparent except for
the carriers running the service.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: I don't know about you guys, but my signing
Page 7
April 2, 1999
hand is feeling itchy, that just sounds so good.
MR. DeCANDIS: Now, I'm not -- you know, I don't want to mislead
everybody and say it's going to work without flaw, okay, but we're --
it looks pretty good.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: One of the things you had talked about
yesterday is naming some specific management. MR. DeCANDIS: Excuse me?
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Making some specific management, I
don't want to say management change, because yesterday we weren't
talking about having the entire same staff and so on, but bringing in
a particular manager with some expertise from elsewhere. Is it safe
to assume that's still part of the plan?
THE WITNESS: We're still planning that, yes, to bring in a
different manager.
In addition, I'll be here all week. We'll have -- I'll be here
starting Monday, and we'll have somebody; one of our GM from Escambia
County's coming in Monday. We will have staff from Fort Myers in on
Monday. There will be a lot of Intellitran people here on Monday, and
we will transition the management over. We also have our ops. man,
operations manager, from Fort Myers is going to come in here on Monday
as well, so --
There are some issues related to funding that still is out there,
still has to be resolved, but there's -- from an operational point of
view, we think that we might have -- we might fall down on Monday, but
Tuesday we think we'll be up and running.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: That's just great. That makes our
volunteer network a two-day process.
MR. DeCANDIS: There is some services that will not run, though,
I want to mention that, and that's those fixed routes that they
weren't getting paid for. Those will be eliminated. We're not sure,
there's some routes that for Boys and Girls Clubs routes, I believe,
that go in and out. I'm not sure we'll run those, but we'll probably
find somebody who can do it. Because they were contracted at a rate
that could not be run. They were very low contract rates.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Does that apply to both Immokalee and the
Girls and Boys Club, or should we be trying to --
THE WITNESS: The Immokalee run is probably gone, okay? There's
no funding for it to run it. The Boys Club and Girls Club and there's
another one, it's another recreations -- I think it's park and
recreation has an after school program or something like that that
they're running. That one might be a problem, too. But the rest of
the service, which would include Aging and everything else in there
will likely run.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: So -- because that Immokalee one, I know,
Barbara, is so important. That's something we might ought to still
work on a volunteer effort or something while we '-
MR. DeCANDIS: They will be para-transit to Immokalee, but they
won't be the fixed route. It will be the one where people just go to
the stops and come in.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: What does that mean, you'll be what transit?
THE WITNESS: Para-transit, where you call in and schedule the
ride and then the vehicles go out, as opposed to going to the bus stop
and jumping on the bus.
Now, the Immokalee run could be recreated if we could get funding
for it and put it back together. But I think next week it's kind of a
dead issue, because there really isn't any money for it.
Page 8
April 2, 1999
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: And I saw Tom Olliff here before, is he
still around there, to talk about -- what is this park and rec. after
school run, Tom? Do you know about that? Or what we might need to
do? We don't need a bunch of stranded parents with their kids not
getting to their after school care either.
MR. OLLIFF: No, but if it's as manageably sized as I think it
is, it's probably something that we can, through the parks department,
through -- we have a 12-passenger van I believe probably take care of
over the course of the short term until we can try and come up with
some other transportation program, hopefully through this program
again, once they get back up on their feet. But we'll fill in one way
or another through the short-term.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Do you know anything about the Boys and
Girls Club program?
MR. OLLIFF: No, I don't. But I can at least make the call and
find out, because we had the contacts there, so we can find out and
see what particular gaps there are and then try and develop some
options, perhaps with him.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: And maybe that would be something that could
coordinate through our office for a volunteer effort in the short-term
while we figure in a long-term solution.
Other thoughts besides gratitude to Intellitran for getting
involved and making as much progress as you have in 24 hours? You
don't want to start with that, you know, because our expectation level
will always be so high.
MR. DeCANDIS: All I can say is we're going to give it a shot,
try and do as best we can.
MR. McNEES: Now that we've mentioned the financial issues, I
think we probably need to quantify that for you, and there's a reason
why Good Wheels is going away. Their deficit is now our deficit.
They are -- from this point forward, so to speak, it will be our
problem.
I've asked Gavin Jones from the MPO to be able to quantify that,
and I expect he's prepared to tell you how big a budget amendment
we're looking at so that we can actually put the mechanics in place to
move forward.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: And just for clarification, when you
say "that deficit," you mean any future possible -- MR. McNEES: Future fund.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: -- incurred.
MR. McNEES: Absolutely. I did not mean the old deficit.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: So Gavin, could you tell us what we might be
looking at for a future budget amendment?
MR. JONES: Madam Chairwoman, Gavin Jones with the Metropolitan
Planning Organization staff.
Good Wheels got into the situation that they did because the
money that they could collect from agencies like Medicaid and the
Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged didn't cover all of
their costs.
The arrangement that we're seeking to have you sign with
Intellitran today, they will be setting the rates at which they bill
agencies like Medicaid and the Commission for the Transportation
Disadvantaged in a way to hopefully ensure that all of the money they
collect will cover their costs.
If that's not true, the way their contract is written, they will
be contracting with fleet operators. Those operators will be
Page 9
April 2, 1999
invoicing Intellitran. Intellitran will be billing agencies like the
Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, and using that money
to pay their operators, to pay their staff, and to cover their
management fee.
Now, the difference between those two numbers will be the
responsibility of the county. And it is hard to quantify what that
amount will be over a three-month period, given what is unknown about
some of the contractual relationships that Good Wheels has already
with some of the agencies they do business with.
If the rates -- you know, it could be over a three-month period
that there will be no fiscal impact to the county, but in discussion
with Andrew DeCandis from Intellitran, it could be $100,000 over three
months, and that is -- you know, that is reflective of the kind of
operating deficit that Good Wheels was operating in month after month.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: One of the things we've talked about,
and Drew is going to help us put these numbers together in the coming
days, but making the appropriate adjustments. We've got some what we
charge for each of the different levels of service and just trying to
get some real numbers in there. And then I think by the time we get
around to, hopefully July 1, having our long-term fix on this, then we
have some numbers we not only think are in place but have been in
practice for three months and we know either work or are too high or
too low.
MR. McNEES: I would suggest perhaps that what we get today from
you, to save a step in the future, is an authorization to approve a
budget amendment in an amount not to exceed $100,000 from general fund
reserves so that as we work through to July, if we do get into a
shortfall situation, we don't have to come back and go through this
again, that we'll have the ability to process the budget amendment,
fund the program. Until that time, and then when we get the long-term
pieces in place, we can identify all that.
Gavin is suggesting the upside is 100,000. We certainly wouldn't
seek to spend that money unless it were necessary. But I think if we
could get that approval today, that would maybe save us some work done
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Sounds like a logical step to an up to
amount.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Can I try and craft a motion for us?
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: I was hoping you would.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I'd like to make a motion that we
approve a -- or sign a memorandum of agreement with the Commission for
Transportation Disadvantaged, making us the coordinator for the
service; that we enter into a cost plus fixed fee contract with
Intellitran to provide coordination of management service for us until
our permanent coordinator is chosen; that we go ahead and put in an
application to request the TD trust funds from the CDD beginning --
CTT -- for the fiscal year beginning this coming July; and also do the
budget resolution that was just outlined by our acting county manager.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: That's a good motion. Do I have a second?
COMMISSIONER NORRIS: Second.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Any discussion on the motion?
MR. WEIGEL: Yes.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: If not, all in favor --
COMMISSIONER NORRIS: Yes, there's --
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Whoops. Discussion by the county attorney.
MR. WEIGEL: Okay. I think there may be a little more that you
Page 10
April 2, 1999
need to put on the record, along with the motions that you have there.
And none of us have had a lot of time to spend with the agreement, but
there are some places in the agreement that are yet to be filled in.
I also had brief opportunity to meet with Risk Management concerning
the insurance indemnification clause that is in the agreement provided
by COMSIS Intellitran.
And if I can walk through very briefly, I think part and parcel
of a motion or of your actions to take today would be to go on the
record and declare an emergency, waiving the purchasing policy as you
look to enter into this short-term agreement with Intellitran.
On the agreement itself, there is -- there's a -- on page three
of the service and -- well, what's called page three, attachment one
of the service and payment agreement are some blanks to be filled in
of county project manager and county contracting officer, and we do
need an indication of whom that will be or what that will be, whether
it's the same person or multiple persons, to have that so that the
agreement can be fleshed out and eligible for sign-off.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Would you be the appropriate person
for that, Mr. Weigel?
MR. WEIGEL: Well, I think maybe Mr. Jones might be. Obviously
our office is going to work very closely with all members of staff in
that regard. Okay?
And attached immediately thereafter on what's page four, what's
called attachment to general provisions, we'll note that it's kind of
in a standard agreement language provided by Intellitran. There is a
termination without cause which probably operates more typically in
longer term agreements. 90 days is the term there, and this is a
90-day agreement, if my understanding is correct. That may be fine
and it may be that that's not an ability that the county is looking
forward to exercise, obviously hoping not to exercise during the term
of the agreement.
The termination for default does have what would appear to be
adequate relation to the needs that the county may have, based on a
lack of performance that were to occur.
Under vehicle insurance, on the same page, paragraph six, the
Risk Management director has indicated that since this is an agreement
with COMSIS, we should require proof of coverage from COMSIS, and that
the coverage should be a million dollars, rather than $500,000, as
shown on, I think, line seven of that paragraph.
I would suggest that it be bumped to a million dollars and that
COMSIS, my understanding is, is not operating vehicles themselves,
that they very simply, as the county does in its own procedures, have
itself added as an additional insured on the insurance policy that the
subcontractors get.
Now, the county always gets that with no additional cost. I
would hope that COMSIS would have that same ability, particularly
since they can tell the insurers that they're not driving the vehicles
themselves.
Moving on a little bit, there are actually three exhibits called
Exhibits A, C and D, each of which look to the authorization of the
Chairwoman to sign off on. And I would like that to be included in
the motion of the board. I think it's important to have as complete a
record as we can today for potential and ultimate review by the
commission in Tallahassee with whom we're working here.
Exhibit C is actually a resolution. It's almost toward the end
of the agenda packet that you have. It has a paragraph five that is
Page 11
April 2, 1999
looking to have a blank filled in with the board, authorizing someone
to assign assurrances, reimbursement invoices, warranties and
certifications.
Again, it may be appropriate for Mr. Jones to be signed into that
blank, and it would be my thought that the county attorney would
assist in that review, as -- in any way that we could.
Last, Exhibit D is an exhibit of standard assurances that apply
to the county, and that's another authorization I think that if we go
on the record specifically for the Chairwoman to sign it, it's to our
credit.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Help me amend my motion to include
recognizing an emergency and waiving the purchasing procedures as
necessary to designate Mr. Jones to represent the county in the
appropriate capacities and to include the exhibits as outlined by our
county attorney, David Weigel.
MR. WEIGEL: And Madam Chairwoman?
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Yes.
MR. WEIGEL: I have one last question, and that is Mr. DeCandis,
could you tell us for the record what your relation is to the company
that you're representing here today?
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: If you'd come to the microphone to do that,
I'd appreciate that.
COMMISSIONER NORRIS: Second amends, by the way.
MR. DeCANDIS: I am the regional vice president for Intellitran.
MR. WEIGEL: Okay. And you have corporate authority to sign off
on the agreement?
THE WITNESS: I have been given corporate authority to sign off
on this agreement, yes.
MR. WEIGEL: Okay, fine. We'll assist in making sure that it is
properly witnessed in the county format that we have. Thank you.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Thank you very much.
We have a motion, an amended motion and a second.
All in favor of those amended -- that amended motion, please say
aye.
Opposed.
(No response.)
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: Passes unanimously.
Thank you to you, Commissioner Constantine, and to our new
prorider. And hopefully the emergency will be short-lived.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yeah, just a quick thanks to our staff
and to Drew, because the last 36 hours, they've put together an awful
lot in an awful short period of time. They've really done a good job.
CHAIRWOMAN MAC'KIE: It's wonderful.
Okay, we're done.
