Ward bid for open hearing on Nishkian-deals issue fails
Supervisor Baxter Ward lost a bid to force an open hearing on county contracts awarded to Nishkian Company. The bid to move the matter from the Grand Jury to the Economy and Efficiency Commission was overruled. Supervisors also criticized the Architect Evaluation Board's rating system and urged a simple competent or incompetent assessment. The board voted to ask the Grand Jury to probe Nishkian contract administration and gratuities prior to management changes. Ward urged broader Grand Jury access and subpoenas for documents, signaling public airing of the issue.
