Council Minutes of 5/16/2000 complaints whatsoever, they will be fired. These same people work for non-union ~` contractors in other states--they travel from state to state working for the general contractors at just above basically minimum wage and in very unsafe working conditions. Their biggest complaint is, if they do complain, they are on the street-- you will never get another job, you will be blacklisted and they cannot have any work whatsoever. The legislation will call on these contractors to pay proper wages so these people can join a union if they wish to and also they can make complaints without having fear of being fired, losing their job and livelihood for themselves and their families. President Saringer announced that the meeting would proceed into Legislation and that Council had removed 2000-32 from the agenda. Because of the commotion from people exiting the room, Mr. McKay moved that Council adjourn for five minutes. The motion was seconded by Mr. O'Grady and passed by acclamation. Council adjourned at 9:30 p.m. and reconvened at 9:40 p.m. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2000-24 introduced by Mr. Gareau was given its third reading. An ordinance creating new Chapter 111 of the Administrative Code of the City of North Olmsted, entitled "City Contracts," in order to provide additional regulations and standards regarding city contracts, and declaring an emergency, as twice amended. Mr. Gareau moved for adoption; second by Mr. Nashar. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Nashar, yes; O'Grady, no, with comment that, as he looks at this ordinance, he envisions a knee jerk reaction which will not serve the best interests of our city. This formalizes a process of negotiation to the point that the ability of the city to negotiate is significantly limited. In his position and opinion, we need to continue to rely on the public record of the meetings of the board of control. Roll call continued: Miller, yes; McKay, yes; Limpert, no; Kasler, yes. The motion passed with five affirmative votes and 2 negative votes. Ordinance No. 2000-24 adopted.
