DISCUSSION
ID: 25-0307 Page 2
The changes to Section 5.02.320 of the Municipal Code, compliance with local labor standards, include reporting thresholds and requirements, incomplete reporting, violations for not reporting, and documentation required. The changes aim to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by enhancing local compliance with the California Business and Professions Code. The license requirements prom ote transparency for building permits by requiring contractors to disclose subcontractor information for subcontractors working on projects permitted by the City. The Ordinance is intended to help subcontractors provide the required disclosure data to lead contactors and applicants filling out the Subcontractor Disclosure Form for Building Permit and Right-of- Way Permit at the front of the process/project versus at the end. While the City will not regulate the data provided or issue stop-work orders for incorrect information, the element of transparency created by the new Subcontractor Disclosure Ordinance will help construction community police itself by identifying labor violators and unqualified operators to help ensure accountability.
