Why This Vote Matters
The council voted with broad support to give preliminary approval to extending the city's local hiring law, with only Councilmember Butt dissenting. The current ordinance, which requires contractors on city projects to hire local residents, expires in October 2005, and this extension would keep it in place for six more months. During that time, the city will decide whether to make permanent changes to the local hiring requirement. This affects residents seeking construction and other contract work with the city, as well as local businesses bidding on city projects. The ordinance will come back for a final vote in two weeks.
