Title
Consideration of Prevailing Wage Ordinance
Description
On Sept. 30, 2021, Vice Mayor Carlos Garcia and Council Members Laura Pastor, Betty Guardado and Yassamin Ansari submitted a memo to City Manager Ed Zuercher requesting to "add the attached Prevailing Wage Ordinance to the Formal Council Meeting agenda on Wednesday, October 6, 2021" (Attachment A). According to the Rules of Council Proceedings, Rule 2(c), the City Manager will place this item on the Oct. 6, 2021 Formal agenda.
This item permits the City Council to discuss this proposal submitted by four Council Members. The attached proposed resolution/ordinance can be used for purposes of discussion of a City prevailing wage ordinance applicable to construction workers on City projects and the provisions to be included in such an ordinance. The attached proposed resolution/ordinance was not prepared by the City's Law Department and has not been approved as to legal form, so the City Council cannot take action regarding adoption of the attached proposed ordinance at this meeting. However, the City Council can take action at the Oct. 6, 2021 meeting to direct staff to prepare a prevailing wage ordinance consistent with, and as similar as possible to, the attached proposed resolution/ordinance that could be acted on at the next available Council meeting.
