Minutes note: Ald.

Stats. and adding "an amount not less than the amount required to produce, for 2,080 hours worked, an annual income equal to 150% of the U.S. department of health and human services' most recent poverty guideline for a family of 3..."

080218 3 OrdinanceA substitute ordinance relating to participation of city residents in public works contracts, requirements for developers receiving direct financial assistance from the city, and local business enterprise contracting standards.

Minutes note: Ald. Hamilton and Ald. Kovac offered a motion to amend Section 355-7-1 and 2. This motion will accomplish the following: 1. The section is reorganized to more accurately reflect the current process of administration of RPP requirements. 2. States that the recipient of direct financial assistance shall “ensure compliance with aspects of the development agreement,” in lieu of “require that the 40% of worker hours” be performed by RPP-certified persons. 3. The Department of City Development is added to the administration of RPP requirements, so that the department may work with the EBE administration to plan, implement and enforce this section, including working with the EBE administration and the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board to establish appropriate levels of RPP participation. 4. It inserts a clause that states that “RPP-credit” may not be applied to more than 30% of the resident worker hours requirement. Substitute 3 of this file did not include a maximum percentage level. 5. It removes the ability to require a RPP requirement beyond the 40% level. This motion will amend Section 355-7-1 and 2 to read as follows: Section 355-7-1 and 2are repealed and recreated to read: 355-7. Participation of City Residents. 1. REQUIREMENTS. Recipients of direct financial assistance shall: a. Ensure compliance with aspects of the development agreement regarding the use of unemployed and underemployed residents for construction of the project. For the purpose of this section, "worker hours" includes work performed by persons filling apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs and excludes the number of hours of work performed by all non-Wisconsin residents. b. Ensure that all of the recipients’ contracts with contractors and sub-contractors for the project include a provision in which such contractor or subcontractor certifies that it knows of the provisions of this section, intends to comply with them and authorizes the city to enforce its terms. c. Require that contractors and subcontractors maintain personnel records listing the name, address, race, and gender of all employes utilized for each construction contract, and any records demonstrating that the employes utilized by the contractors and subcontractors in meeting the requirements of this section are residents of the city. These records shall be maintained for 7 years after the contractor or subcontractor has received final payment under its construction contract, and shall be made available to the emerging business enterprise administration for inspection upon reasonable notice. 2. ADMINISTRATION. The department of city development and emerging business enterprise administration shall be responsible for the planning, implementation and enforcement of this section. a. Prior to submitting a proposed term sheet for a project, the commissioner of city development, in consultation with the emerging business enterprise administration or such other entity as may be designated by the city from time to time, shall determine the appropriate level of participation of unemployed and underemployed residents of the city for the project to reflect the job or trade categories required for the project and the pool of available certified and qualified workers within each job or trade category. The total appropriate level of participation shall be presumed to be 40%, unless the commissioner determines there is sufficient reason to impose a lesser requirement. The recipient of direct financial assistance shall submit a city resident utilization plan detailing how the level of required participation will be achieved. 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. b. Prior to the release of funds, the commissioner shall confirm that all contractors and subcontractors, prior to commencement of their work, have submitted an affidavit in the form supplied by the department 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. c. During the construction of any project covered by this section, the emerging business enterprise administration shall: b-1. Monitor compliance with the provisions of this section. b-2. Confirm that all contractors and subcontractors have submitted construction contract time reports listing workers by name, residential address, work classification and hours worked at least once every 3 months during the course of their work and within 10 days following completion of their work. b-3. Arrange for an independent audit with respect to the residents preference program, to be performed every 3 years, by a certified accounting firm licensed to perform audits in the state of Wisconsin, or by the city comptroller.
