The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 309-38-l-f of the code is hereby created to read:

Part 2. Section 309-38-2-b is hereby renumbered to sec. 309-38-2-c.
Part 3. Section 309-38-2-b is hereby created to read:
b. If the contractor is unable to meet the requirements of par. a, above, a request for a wavier must be submitted to the contracting department prior to starting the work.

Unskilled laborers, including those employed in Bridge, Road, Street and Asphalt Construction, are to be employed in accordance with the maximum ratio of new employees to skilled laborers permitted under Building, Sewer and Water, and Shaft and Tunnel Construction. An unskilled laborer will continue to qualify for two years from the date he or she first participated in a City contract. The contractor shall provide on-the-job training for all unskilled laborers hired to meet the requirement of this ordinance, and shall make every effort to ensure that the unskilled laborers hired under this ordinance are enrolled, or have an application pending for enrollment, in a formal training program prior to starting the work.
Part 4. Section 309-38-3 of the Code is hereby amended to read:
3. MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT. The contracting department shall:
a. Monitor the performance of each contract with respect to the ratio of apprentices to journeymen, or the appropriate number of unskilled laborers, employed on the project during performance of the contract.
b. Require all contractors and subcontractors to maintain records concerning its apprenticeship program, or training provided to unskilled laborers, which shall be retained for three years after the contractor has received final payment under the contract. These records shall be made available to the contracting department for inspection upon reasonable notice.
