TITLE: Prevailing Wage Exemption
F'URA N rL•Gi 9
On July 2, 2012, the California Supreme Court issued a decision exempting charter
cities from the payment of prevailing wage for locally funded public works projects. As a
charter city, the City of Newport Beach may adopt a resolution exempting itself from
California's prevailing wage requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Continue the item to the October 9, 2012 City Council Meeting.
DISCUSSION:
This item was originally scheduled for the September 11, 2012 City Council meeting.
The City Council consented to staff's request to continue this item to the September 25,
2012 meeting. Staff has not had sufficient time to fully review comments provided by
stakeholders and is therefore requesting the item be continued to October 9, 2012.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly.
