B. AD HOC TASK FORCE ON PREVAILING WAGE
The Committee voted to refer six names to the full Council for consideration and
asked that the Council select the seventh name from the remaining pool of
candidates.
The follow actions were taken:
1. Directed staff to send a thank you letter to the applicants who were not
considered because of their non-resident status.
2. The Committee recommends the following six candidates to the full Council:
James A. Chilko
James D. Hawley
John Lencioni
Robert E. McCarthy
John R. Tarjan
Leroy C. Weygand
3. Because the Committee was split on the remaining candidates -- two in favor
of Michael S. Abril and one in favor of Daniel J. Kane -- the Committee
recommends that the full Council use the ballot system to select a seventh
candidate from the remaining applicant pool.
4. Directed staff to send a letter to the 30 applicants as to the status of the
process.
5. The scope of work for the task force would include studying the:
a. repeal of prevailing wage and its fiscal impact to the City;
b. specific and tangible impacts prevailing wage has on the community,
such as the quality of work projects;
c. creation of a statutory preference for local businesses to compete
within a low-bid range;
d. establishment of a local prevailing wage and the associated
administrative costs to implement it; and
e. any additional areas the task force deems appropriate.
