Motion to approve directive to staff to draft a city-wide Project Labor Agreement

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously directed city staff to draft a Project Labor Agreement that would standardize wages, hiring practices, and work rules for all construction contractors working on city projects. Currently, the city has no such standard agreement, meaning labor terms can vary from project to project. This directive only asks staff to research and write a draft agreement - the council would need to vote again later to actually adopt any labor standards. Two members were absent from the meeting, but all five present members supported the directive.
