County tables vendor-preference ordinance
SARASOTA COUNTY — Despite making some key decisions Tuesday, county commissioners voted for the second time to continue their discussion of a revised local-vendor preference section for the updated county Procurement Code, saying they would like more input from local vendors.
“We made some tentative decisions today on local preference, which will go back to some of the industry representatives for more input,” Commission Chairwoman Christine Robinson said. “As far as Procurement Code exemptions, the commission needed additional information as to each exemption on why it’s being included, and why those being eliminated are being eliminated.”
