Title
An Ordinance to Amend Sections 1:813 and 1:821 of Chapter 23 (Living Wage Requirements) of Title I of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor (Ordinance No. ORD-08-10)
Memorandum
The proposed ordinance amendment would establish a higher dollar threshold for non-profits corporations for application of the living wage requirements of Chapter 23 of the City Code. Under this amendment non-profit organizations who furnish services under contract to the City or receive financial assistance under a grant program administered by the City would not be subject to the living wage requirement unless the contract amount or grant award exceeds $40,000 in a 12-month period.
Currently non-profits corporations who employ or contract with ten (10) or more individuals and have a contract with the City or receive a grant from the City which exceeds $10,000 in a 12-month period are subject to the living wage requirements of Chapter 23. Employment calculations under the ordinance included permanent, part-time and seasonal employees. By increasing the dollar threshold for application of the requirement, non-profit corporations who rely on summer part-time and seasonal employees to provide services to the community and would not otherwise have been able to bid, or have historically limited their bids to contract for services or seek grant funding because of the living wage requirement may now be able do so.
