the Vero Beach store came with certain software programs that she has worked with and intends to keep. Commissioner Bird asked about our commitment, because he did not want to be bound to purchasing two computers. Attorney Vitunac felt that it would be sufficient if the Board simply states that they don't want to go to bid on this item. Utilities Director Terry Pinto said that they would be ordering a Tandy,for the Solid Waste Disposal District soon and could use the one from the Sebastian store without any problem. OMB Director Joe Baird was very concerned about the ordering of items without requisitions, such as the item last week for the North County Fire District. That item and today's item did not go through the requisition system. Mr. Ambler categorically and totally denied that any purchase order ever has been placed through the Purchasing Dept. without Director Baird's signature first. Chairman Scurlock asked how it got on the Agenda, and Mr. Ambler admitted that it was on the Agenda, but no purchase order is ever placed until the Board reviews the recommendation. Often times the Agenda item will say "no purchase order will be placed until the Budget Office approves." Commissioner Eggert emphasized that in order to eliminate confusion in these matters, the Board has asked repeatedly that Mr. Amblernot bring anything to the Agenda unless it has been approved by the Budget Office, and now she is hearing that Mr. Ambler is, indeed, doing that. Mr. Ambler explained that what they have is a paper flow situation, but every attempt is made on his part to get Director Baird's signature before the Board ever sees the award recommen- dation. Commissioner Eggert suggested that Mr. Ambler obtain Director Baird's signature before an item is placed on the Agenda, and Mr. Ambler agreed to do that. JUN 7 1988 4 BOOK f
