Discuss, consider and take appropriate action to grant an exemption for the expenditures for work performed by day laborers, pursuant to Local Government Code Section 262.024.(a)(5), which provides that a contract for work performed and paid for by the day is exempt from the solicitation requirement under 262.023, at the discretion of the Commissioners Court. Day laborers will be used for events at the Expo Center, through the Parks Department.
