COMMISSIONER FLETCHER ASKED WHO WROTE THIS CONTRACT, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS ANSWERED THAT THE CONTRACT FORM CAME OUT OF ORLANDO; ORANGE COUNTY HAD USED IT, AND L.E.A.A. SENT IT TO US AS AN ACCEPT- ABLE FORM. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER NOTED THAT OUR PORTION OF THE FUNDING WILL BE GUIDED BY THE WORDS IN THIS CONTRACT, AND HE HAD SOME PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THE WORDING. HE CONTINUED THAT HE FOUND IT IRONIC THAT THE PEOPLE WE ARE FUNDING REFER TO THEMSELVES AS THE "PROVIDER" ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CONTRACT. HE CONTINUED THAT IN REGARD TO ALLOW- ING ACCESS TO FINANCIAL RECORDS, ON PAGE 6, IT STATED THAT "ALL SUCH AUTHORIZATIONS WILL BE ON A 'NEED TO KNOW' BASIS," AND THIS TROUBLES HIM. WE ARE FUNDING THIS WITH TAXPAYERS' MONEY, AND AS HE READS THIS,..°THEY WILL DETERMINE WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR OPERATION. HE FELT THIS SAYING HAD CAUSED A PROBLEM IN ANOTHER AREA RE MENTAL HEALTH, AND HE WISHED TO POINT IT OUT TO THE REST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS AS A POTENTIAL AREA OF NON -INFORMATION IF WE ARE SEEK- ING INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROJECT. HE CONTINUED THAT ON PAGE 9, IT STATES THE PROVIDER WILL PERMIT THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES TO AUDIT, AND HE WOULD AGAIN PRESUME THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY PRECLUDE SOME AUTHORITY LOCALLY. HIS OTHER QUESTION IS THAT THERE IS A PROVISION THAT SAYS ANY INVENTION MADE IN THE COURSE OF OR UNDER THIS CONTRACT SHALL COME INTO THE POSSESSION OF THE AGENCY, AND HE WISHED TO KNOW IF THAT IS A STANDARD PROVISION. MENT. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER NOTED THAT IT IS A FEDERAL REQUIRE- THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED WITH COMMISSIONER FLETCHER VOTING IN OPPOSITION® COPY OF SAID CONTRACT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK. COMMISSIONER BIRD ASKED IF THE SECOND CONTRACT WHICH DEALS WITH E80-81 IS THE SAME AS THE FIRST WITH THE INSERTION OF ARTICLE 3, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THE DOLLARS ARE THE ONLY THING CHANGED.
