Title
ADD-ON - Phoenix Healthy Tourism and Hospitality Measures - Public Hygiene and Handwashing for Tourism and Hospitality Workers (Ordinance G-6721)
Description
Vice Mayor Betty Guardado and Councilmembers Laura Pastor and Carlos Garcia requested the City Manager place an item (Attachment A) to "add the three attached Phoenix Healthy Tourism and Hospitality ordinances (Attachment B), which propose amendments to the City Code, to the Formal Council Meeting agenda on July 1, 2020." This complies with the Rules of Council Proceedings, Council Rule 2c, regarding placement of items on an agenda.
Since the three ordinances are G-ordinances amending the City Code, the City Code requires the items to be listed as separate items. Item 73 has been renumbered as Item 73.1, Ordinance G-6719, Right of Recall for Tourism and Hospitality Workers; Item 73.2, Ordinance G-6720, Supplemental Paid Sick Leave for Tourism and Hospitality Workers; and Item 73.3, Ordinance G-6721, Public Hygiene and Handwashing for Tourism and Hospitality Workers.
This item, Item 73.3, Ordinance G-6721, Public Hygiene and Handwashing for Tourism and Hospitality Workers, amends the City Code by adding sections to new Chapter 17, Business and Wage Regulations, requiring the City to establish a Public Hygiene Training Program and conduct a procurement process to select organizations that satisfy the requirements to administer the program and issue certificates to hospitality employees who successfully complete the training program and an examination. Hospitality employers cannot hire an individual for more than 120 days who does not present a valid certificate. The ordinance also requires that hospitality employers provide paid 15-minute breaks for hospitality workers for every four hours worked and establishes performance standards as provided in the attached ordinance.
