|
| In enacting this chapter the city council makes the following findings and articulates the
| |
| following purposes for the promulgation of the living wage regulations set forth herein:<br>
| |
| 1. The health and welfare of all Santa Cruz citizens is benefited and advanced when Santa
| |
| Cruz workers are paid a wage which enables them to live above the poverty line;
| |
|
| |
|
| 2. The city awards many contracts to private sector employers to provide goods and
| | <br class="cleared" /> |
| services to the city in accordance with those contracts;
| |
|
| |
|
| 3. Many workers in Santa Cruz and their families live at or below the poverty line. The
| | {{#widget:DISQUS|id=zooidwiki}} |
| payment of inadequate wages to those workers tends to negatively affect the quality of
| |
| services provided to the city and its residents by fostering high turnover and instability in
| |
| the workplace;
| |
|
| |
|
| 4. The use of city funds to promote the creation of a living wage will increase the ability
| | [[Category:Travel image]] |
| of low wage workers to attain sustenance, decrease the amount of poverty and reduce the
| | </includeonly> |
| amount of taxpayer funded social services provided in the city of Santa Cruz;
| |
| | |
| 5. Some employers which provide contract services to the city do not provide health
| |
| insurance benefits to their employees. This factor negatively affects worker performance
| |
| and the quality of services delivered to the city and its residents, results in unwarranted
| |
| employee absenteeism and negatively impacts local and State health programs. These
| |
| problems can be ameliorated if employers provide reasonable health insurance benefits to
| |
| their employees;
| |
| | |
| 6. City regulations requiring the payment of a living wage are consistent with other city
| |
| regulations such as the city's prevailing wage regulations designed to address the
| |
| economic needs of low wage workers in the city;
| |
| | |
| 7. The expenditure of public funds for the procurement and provision of services is
| |
| conducted most responsibly when the expenditure promotes a community economic
| |
| standard intended to assure that city workers, including single parents, and their families
| |
| can subsist above the poverty line; and
| |
| | |
| 8. The use of city funds to encourage living wage jobs will decrease poverty, increase
| |
| consumer income and invigorate neighborhood businesses.
| |
| | |
| 9. The living wage requirement shall apply to social service agencies receiving $5,000.00
| |
| or more in annual support from the city of Santa Cruz. However, this requirement shall
| |
| not take effect until the city council amends this ordinance and/or passes a policy
| |
| resolution clarifying how the ordinance will be applied to such agencies.
