SBE workshop

City Council yesterday had a three-hour workshop on the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) study. The study was compiled by MGT, who the City of Pensacola contracted to study the awarding of contracts to local businesses. They determined that minorities were awarded only 1 percent of the total dollars expended by the City during the study period, about $2.9 million.

I'm optimistic that the new City Council will implement policies to improve on this very low percentage.
