File Number: 18-478 <br />Because the goals for the use of San Leandro residents as apprentices and journeymen have not <br />been reached, additional time is recommended to allow for future development. Therefore, staff <br />recommends that that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a side agreement to <br />extend the current term of the CWA with the BTC through December 31, 2019, and direct staff to <br />begin negotiations with BTC for the potential future terms of the CWA. BABRT support has been <br />valuable, effective, and supportive of the CWA and the local business inclusion program. <br />Therefore, staff recommends approval of a one-year consulting services contract with BABRT, <br />with an option to extend, for continued provision of workforce development and local business <br />inclusion consulting services. Both actions are recommended because staff believes they will <br />result in a more robust and effective CWA in the long run. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />·Place San Leandro on a firm foundation for long-term fiscal sustainability. <br />·Advance projects and programs promoting sustainable economic development, including <br />transforming San Leandro into a center for innovation. <br />·Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure. <br />Previous Actions <br />·On February 10, 2015, the City Council held a Work Session to review options related to <br />the adoption of a potential CWA and receive feedback from stakeholders. <br />·On April 20, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-086, appropriating <br />$100,000 in one-time funding for outreach and implementation of a CWA. <br />·On June 15, 2015, the City Council approved the Community Workforce Agreement that <br />was negotiated with the Alameda County Building and Construction Trades Council (BTC) <br />and its affiliated local unions to govern labor procedures for City construction projects <br />valued above $1,000,000. <br />·On May 16, 2016, staff provided an update on implementation of the CWA. <br />·On December 5, 2016, staff provided an update on the first year of projects constructed <br />under the CWA. <br />Committee Review and Actions <br />·At meetings on March 17, 2015 and April 21, 2015, the City Council Finance Committee <br />discussed the CWA and indicated support for bringing the item back to the City Council <br />for adoption. <br />·On March 7, 2017, staff updated the City Council Finance Committee on the <br />implementation of the CWA and subsequent impact on City projects. <br />·On December 3, 2018, staff updated the City Council Facilities and Transportation <br />Committee on the nine projects awarded under the first term of the CWA. <br />Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/11/2018
