- Review of and Vote on Proposed Contracts ( see attachment for list of contracts)
All contracts for vote were read aloud by Brynn Henderson.
Jeremy Bliss asked the Committee if there were any questions regarding any contract being voted on. Audrey McCrimon had two questions: What are the cumulative totals of non disabled and disabled people working on the contracts and also how much is spent on clients from the contracts. Jeremy Bliss stated that we will consider tracking the number of non disabled and disabled people working on the contracts by tracking it on the quarter reports. Audrey McCrimon also asked what the workshops does with the money they receive from the contracts; do they use it on minimum wage, consumers, supplies, she would like a breakdown on how the money is spent.
Dick Goede is not in favor of that; he does not think it is a good idea to make that public information. Sharla Roberts asked how are we going to measure the success of the 5 year plan.
Jeremy Bliss stated that we would do benchmarks and use a matrix after we collect enough information; the information would come outside of the quarter reports. Sharla Roberts asked if it is possible to have some information at the next meeting to see what we have done so far in the 5 year plan.
Jan Morrow stated that we would have to collect enough information and also change the Quarterly Report to reflect the ratio of disabled people to non disabled people working in FY13.
Sharla Roberts made mention that the City of Chicago is hosting ACCESS Chicago for People with Disabilities on July 29th at Navy Pier, Business Enterprise Program and State Use will be attending and will have a table or booth setup.
