Analysis
This ordinance revises current code provisions governing the residents preference program by:
· Allowing a contractor to satisfy its resident preference program requirement by using workers who are employees of record of an entity engaged solely in training its employees for permanent employment, who are not employed or paid directly by the contractor and who, from time to time, are assigned to provide work at a contractor’s jobsite as part of the employee’s job training and career development.
· Requiring that at least 40% of workers participating in the program have either no skills, or insufficient skills, for the initial job assignment.
· Increasing the percentage of participants required to reside in high-poverty zip code areas from 25% to 35%. This requirement shall be reduced back to 25% if insufficient workers cannot be recruited through programs established by the city.
· Providing that a digital location tracking device indicating the whereabouts of a person throughout the day may, solely at the city’s discretion, be deemed evidence of domiciliary intent when asserting residency.
