Analysis

In 1991, the Common Council passed an ordinance (File Number 872263) establishing the Residents Preference Program (RPP) to increase employment opportunities for unemployed or underemployed individuals living in portions of the city eligible for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.

 

In 2009, the Council passed an ordinance (File Number 080218) expanding the RPP to include individuals residing anywhere within the city and to include private development projects receiving at least $1 million in direct financial assistance from the City. This ordinance also created the Local Business Enterprise (LBE) contracting program.

 

In 2011, the Council passed an ordinance (File Number 110086) establishing the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program.

 

Current code stipulates that:

 

1.                     A resident may qualify as unemployed or underemployed if he or she has not worked in the preceding 30 days, and may remain qualified as unemployed or underemployed for 5 years.

 

2.                     To be designated as a local business enterprise, a business must own or lease real property within the geographical boundaries of the city of Milwaukee.

 

3.                     A responsive and responsible bidder which is a local business enterprise shall receive a 5% award standard in any formal competitive bid.

 

4.                     “At a disadvantage with respect to business location” means located within an enterprise zone within the city for a period of not less than one year.

 

5.                     The Residents Preference Program is a city-wide program.

 

This ordinance makes the following changes to the Residents Preference, Small Business Enterprise and Local Business Enterprise Programs:

 

1.                     The definition of “unemployed or underemployed” is amended by removing the 5-year qualification period and by shortening the amount of time a person has not worked from 30 days to 15 days.

 

2.                     The definition of “local business enterprise” is expanded to include businesses which operate in the city of Milwaukee.

 

3.                     A new incentive is created to allow a local business enterprise also meeting small business enterprise certification requirements to receive an award standard of 10% instead of 5%.

 

4.                     The definition of “at a disadvantage with respect to business location” is changed to reflect that a portion of the city has received the designation of “renewal community”.

 

5.                     The Residents Preference Program remains a city-wide program, but at least one-quarter of the unemployed or underemployed resident hours required under the program must be attributable to residents who maintain their permanent residence in the most impoverished zip codes of the city.

 

This ordinance also:

 

1.                     Requires a certain percentage of apprenticeship and on-the-job training hours to be attributable to unemployed or underemployed residents, and a certain percentage of these hours to be performed by persons residing in impoverished areas of the city.

 

2.                     Requires RPP reports to include information relating to worker hours by zip code, race, gender, trade and hourly wage.

 

3.                     Establishes credits for contractors or developers exceeding the apprenticeship or zip code residency requirements established by this ordinance.

 

4.                     Allows contractors or developers unable to meet the requirements of the RPP program to hire unemployed or underemployed residents to work on concurrent projects in any Wisconsin county to meet the requirements.

 

5.                     Creates a Residents Preference Program Review Commission to review Residents Preference Program compliance, performance and other program matters.

 

Finally, this ordinance makes various code revisions relating to errors and inconsistencies.

 

The effective date of this ordinance is January 1, 2017, except for parts 38 and 40, which shall be effective upon passage and publication of this ordinance.

Up to one-third of required worker hours may be achieved by documenting the use of unemployed or underemployed residents on projects undertaken by the developer where such compliance is not required, or by hiring unemployed or underemployed residents on a full-time permanent basis for non-construction job categories connected to the project. Such adjustments must be proposed in an affidavit on a form provided by the department setting forth the facts upon which the request for adjustment is based.

 

Part 18.                     Section 355-7-2-a-1 to 2 of the code is created to read:

Every worker hour exceeding this requirement shall count for one-and-a-half hours toward the requirement of par. a.

b. Prior to the release of funds, the [[commissioner]] >>office of small business development<< shall confirm that all contractors and subcontractors, prior to commencement of their work, have submitted an affidavit in the form supplied by the [[department]] >>office of small business development<< from employes utilized to meet the requirements of this section, stating that the employe is unemployed or underemployed and is a resident of the city.

The performance report shall include the following:

 

Part 24.                     Section 355-7-3-a to c is amended to read:

 

a. The number and dollar amount of all [[construction contracts let]] >>development agreements executed<<.

 

b. The number and dollar amount of [[construction contracts]] >>development agreements<< which incorporated a residency requirement and the percentage of unemployed or underemployed resident worker hours required as well as the number of worker hours worked or performed.

 

c. If not all [[construction contracts]] >>development agreements<< included a residency requirement or if some [[contracts]] >>agreements<< contained a requirement of less than 40% of worker hours, [[the office of small business development shall state]] the reason for this difference.
