Item 3: Ratification of Unanimous IGR Actions and Action on Non-Unanimous IGR Actions

Additionally, some of our facilities serve alcohol. There are OLCC regulations that mandate food be served and there may be some conflicts with this bill and OLCC regulations that should be investigated if it looks like it will move forward. LRCS makes every effort to limit food and beverage options that add to obesity at facilities that predominately cater to youth programs. At facilities that are not predominately youth focused, we concentrate more on providing a service that patrons value, which could mean offering traditional “snack shack” type of services like at ball fields, pools and golf courses. LRCS does try to offer healthy options where appropriate but do not want to legislate to adult patrons what they should or should not be eating or drinking and instead look at it as a service issue and want to provide items patrons request.

"Public building,” is defined as “a building owned or controlled by a public body.” There is no clear definition of what’s a building, but it probably would be interpreted to cover any enclosed structure. It doesn’t matter whether the City or a concessionaire is selling the food and drink. I doubt this bill has legs. It addresses one aspect of a major social problem, but is this top- down regulation the right approach? Will our vendors - e.g., at the Library - simply lose business? I agree with Mike Magee's comments and recommendation. HB 3232 Relating Clause: Relating to homeless individuals; declaring an emergency. Title:Provides civil immunity for person providing medical, dental or outreach services to homeless individuals if person has registered as volunteer with nonprofit corporation and services are provided without compensation.

This bill would make it easier for medical and dental professionals to participate in events like Project Homeless Connect.
