RE: AB 2557 (Ortega) Contracts for Special Services and Temporary Help Notice of Opposition
Dear Chair Carrillo,
The City of San Clemente regretfully must oppose measure AB 2557 (Ortega).
Municipalities in California must follow comprehensive requirements prior to contracting with any business providing municipal services in the community.
Prevailing wage must be included as well as a demonstrated ability to complete the assigned work in a professional manner.
Given the current regulations placed on municipal contracts, AB 2557 appears to be an unnecessary legislative action intended to increase the number of municipal employees. However, in a small community like San Clemente, many tasks do not require full time employment or lack the economies of scale to be completed in a manner that is the most fiscally responsible use of tax payer dollars.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at cabralv@sanclemente.org or by calling (949) 361-8200.
Sincerely,
Victor Cabral
Mayor
City of San Clemente
