04/10/2018 Council Preview – Wage Theft

Pretty simple meeting, it looks like.

We start the evening with two closed sessions, one involving the County suing us over redevelopment issues, the other involving ongoing negotiations regarding the city’s Charles/Iowa property, which we’re considering turning into an affordable housing facility. This is followed by the general session, starting with a series of special orders. First up is swearing in the commissioners we appointed at our last meeting. Then we recognize Fair Housing Month and Earth Month.  Next is recognizing the winners of the 2018 Earth Day Video and Poster Contest. Finally, we recognize the latest set of Sunnyvale green businesses.

The consent calendar is somewhat diverse. There’s an agreement with the Sunnyvale Sister City Association to provide use of facilities. There’s a tax data exchange agreement with the state Franchise Tax Board. There’s a contract for handling of some of the city’s routine hazardous waste. There’s an amendment to an existing outside counsel agreement. And there’s the second reading of the ordinance from last meeting’s residential parking issue.

Item 2 is the substantive one – making changes to our municipal code to allow for revocation of certain city-issued licenses for businesses that engage in wage theft.

And item 3 would modify the Memorandum of Understanding with the Public Safety Managers Association to implement an education incentive pay.

That’s about it.
