Regular Calendar 1-1 Provide Staff Direction Reaardina Draftina Local Hirina Ordinance (CA City Attorney Schwabauer provided a brief overview of the subject matter of a local hiring ordinance as outlined in the staff report. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Schwabauer stated that bidding under a local hiring ordinance would likely work under certain set parameters similar to the disadvantaged business enterprise programs, although he is unsure of the specific details at the current time. In response to Council Member Katzakian, Mr. Schwabauer stated it may be difficult to eliminate any bidders or weight the bidding because the Public Contracts Code sets forth specifics regarding how to bid and the process of awarding to the lowest responsible bidder. In response to Council Member Katzakian, Mr. Schwabauer stated the City could likely do some flavor of a local hiring ordinance after meeting with various parties in the construction and building industry to determine numbers and percentages within the City and County. In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce, Mr. Schwabauer stated that his preliminary outreach efforts appeared to show that locals in the industry would be hard pressed to get 20 percent of their worker force from Lodi. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Schwabauer stated a local hiring ordinance could be set up with good faith efforts instead of hard percentage numbers. Nicole Goehring spoke in opposition to a local hiring ordinance based on her concerns regarding the typical language that appears in the ordinances and the paperwork requirements. She stated the construction industry is generally regional and suggested the San Joaquin County local hiring ordinance as an acceptable alternative. Bill Meehleis spoke in opposition to a local hiring ordinance based on his concerns regarding the paperwork requirements and the availability of qualified workers in a specific area. In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Schwabauer stated the City of Stockton's local hiring ordinance differs in the radius based upon the type of industry. The City Council provided the City Attorney with general direction to research and draft a local hiring ordinance with a regional and good faith effort focus. 1-2 Authorize the Mayor, on Behalf of the City Council, to Send a Letter Regarding the Governor's Budget Proposal (CM) City Manager Bartlam provided a brief overview of the proposed letter regarding the Governor's budget proposal as outlined in the staff report. Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce suggested the opposition letter focus more on the elimination of enterprise zones, which is directly relevant to the City of Lodi. E Continued January 19, 2011 In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Bartlam stated the Governor's position on the elimination of enterprise zones based on a recent budget teleseminar is that the cities are simply trading dollars for job locations and there is no net benefit from disbursing the dollars throughout the State. Mayor Johnson suggested the City include in its efforts to oppose the Governor's budget proposal the sample letter of opposition to enterprise zones only, which will be sent to the City Clerk by the League representative.
