In addition, the Department is required to report any awards granted to the Department regarding frivolous motions brought against this Department. If the hearing examiner determines that the motion of the opposing party in any Chapter
227 contested case is frivolous, the examiner may award the state agency all reasonable costs in responding to the motion. In SFY 1995, no motions of opposing parties were found to be frivolous. Consequently, the Department has no awards to report.
Sincerely,
JOE LEEAN

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
On behalf of the Council on Small, Veteran and Minority Business Opportunities, I submit the Council's 1994-95 Annual Report.
The Council continues to work to include Wisconsin small, veteran, and minority business in the State of Wisconsin's purchasing activities. Since they are a diverse group, the Council recognizes that special efforts are essential in establishing working relationships with them. No one solution is applicable.
During the past year, the Council continued the practice of critiquing state procurement policy drafts, reviewing standard purchasing reports and proposed legislation, and had presentations at three of its meetings. The Council continues to make recommendations in an attempt to ensure that procurement processes are simplified and resources are available to potential bidders.
We commend the Division of State Agency Services for its responsiveness to Council recommendations on these issues.
Sincerely,
terry atwater
Chairperson, Council on Veteran and
Minority Business Opportunities
