STAFF REPORT
CITY ADMINISTRATION
DATE: December 13, 2011
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
RE: Living Wage Ordinance Amendment
Background
On October 4, 2011, the City Council adopted a Living Wage Ordinance (Ordinance No. 1187)
as part of the City's good governance reforms. The ordinance applies to City employees and
contractors and was modeled after the City of Los Angeles's Living Wage Ordinance.
Upon further examination of the ordinance, it has been discovered that certain language in
Section 2.132(b) was inadvertently included. This section states in part that "[e]mployers shall
provide at least twelve (12) compensated days off per year for sick leave, vacation, or personal
necessity at the employee's request." The italicized language provides the employee the option
of designating up to twelve days of his/her compensated time off as any one categorical type.
The City currently provides entry level employees with a total of sixteen (16) compensated days
off per year, eight (8) as sick leave and eight (8) as vacation. Thus, if the required twelve days
consisted of any combination of the three types, the City would be more than meeting the
minimum requirement. An informal survey revealed that several of the City's current
contractors are in similar situations.
By simply removing the language, "at the employee's request[,]" from this provision of the
ordinance, it would allow the City and its contractors the appropriate flexibility to meet the 12-
day minimum requirement, while maintaining the requirement that employees receive a
minimum of twelve compensated days off per year.
Recommendation
It is recommended that Ordinance No. 1187 be amended to remove the language, "at the
employee's request" from Section 2.132(b).
