3:53:47 Mr. Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan summed up the Commission discussion as follows: There is not an intent to apply
this to City issued licenses such as pet and business licenses. There is interest in not having a
monitory threshold. There is not an interest in having it apply when the City provides services
how the Finance Director described it. There is not an interest in "best efforts" language. We
should have in all contracts whether a monitory threshold occurs or not. When we enter into
Federal or State contracts, when a there is a discrimination requirement we need to add the
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity discrimination language into clauses. There is not an
interest in having this apply when something such as a gas transaction takes place, but possibly
when entering into written agreements when there are substantial funds spent.
