MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST <br />A. Legislation (information only) - This sub - section involves possible discussion of <br />City Position on Proposed Legislation described in the League of California Cities <br />Priority Focus Bulletin Nos. 37 -2003, 38 -2003, and 39 -2003. Council may direct <br />staff to act on positions taken by Council. (Copies of League of California Cities <br />Priority Focus available in City Clerk's Department.) <br />B. Prevailing Wage Resolution (203) <br />Council Member Ruskin explained that Redwood City has been a supporter of <br />prevailing wages on public projects and the benefits of the principle. The reason <br />the issue is being considered at this time is because recently the California Court <br />of Appeal ruled that the prevailing wage law is a matter of statewide concern and <br />therefore applies to Charter cities. Because the City supports the goals of the <br />State law, he recommends that at this time the City not participate in certain <br />efforts that may be underway to overturn or depublish the City of Long Beach <br />decision. <br />Public Comment: <br />William Nack, speaking on behalf of the Building and Construction Trades <br />Council of San Mateo County, thanked Council for considering the <br />resolution. He stated that the Council and residents have always supported <br />quality of life issues important to working families. He further explained the <br />purpose behind the resolution and that it is as relevant today as it was in <br />1931. <br />M/S Howard /Ruskin to adopt: <br />RESOLUTION 14558 OF SUPPORT OF CALIFORNIA STATE LAW REGARDING <br />PREVAILING WAGE REQUIRING CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS ON <br />PUBLIC PROJECTS TO PAY CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WAGES AT LEAST EQUAL <br />TO THE WAGES PREVAILING IN LOCAL LABOR MARKETS <br />JOINT CITY COUNCIL AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OCTOBER 13, 2003 <br />MEETING MINUTES PAGE 8 <br />MINUTES Book No. 60 <br />Page No. 77 <br />
