matter." City Attorney Goren asked for a motion to join in the lawsuit to protect the City's
rights and once a party to the lawsuit.

Coop rather than working with a local small business that provides temporary staffing
services, taking proactive steps to work with local and small businesses.
Purchasing/Contracts Manager Keith Glatz responded we are participants and direct
party to the Southeast Florida Governmental Purchasing Cooperative as well as active
members and need to support our contracts in order to stay a part of the organization.
Purchasing/Contracts Manager Glatz noted City of Coral Springs is rebidding the contract
for temporary staffing services and is the lead agency and the City is working in making
recommendations to be included in the contract. Discussion ensued regarding the work
with local businesses, asking City of Coral Springs to consider the City to be in the
committee, about leverage and saving money. Commissioner Gelin noted he wanted to
see more opportunities to local businesses. City Manager Cernech noted, going forward
and doing a better job is to work through Broward County to try to get more of the
businesses that participate in their programs involved with the Purchasing Cooperative.
Being a part of the Purchasing Cooperative offers good exposure for those businesses
because it provides opportunities for all levels of businesses to participate, exposing them
to a broader market for the services provided. City Manager Cernech noted that
Commissioner Gelin, as a small business owner, understands the value of those types of
relationships, being able to partner with other businesses, and to be able to expand his
own business. City Manager Cernech said that because of the relationship with the
Purchasing Cooperative and Broward County, Purchasing/Contracts Manager Glatz
could begin to facilitate some of those conversations. Manager Cernech said that knowing
about the businesses he needs to be aware of, that falls under those categories, will help
in trying to facilitate some of the conversations. Over the years, the Purchasing
Cooperative has sought to expand their reach to be more inclusive of businesses, to a
broader opportunity for the business as well as for those who utilize the businesses.
