CITY CLERK'S OFFICE - MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
From: Mayor Pro Tern Gleam Davis and Council Members Kevin McKeown
and Terry O'Day
Date: May 22, 2012
13 -A: Request of Mayor Pro Tern Gleam Davis and Council Members Kevin
McKeown and Terry O'Day that City staff fully evaluate potential providers of
vehicle washing services for their compliance with applicable federal and
state laws and regulations relating to wages and working conditions prior to
signing any agreements or purchase orders for such services. As there have
been allegations of significant violations of applicable wage and hour laws
and health and safety regulations at local car washes and in the car wash
industry in general, it is necessary for the City to select competitive vendors
that demonstrably comply with federal and state employment and workplace
safety laws. The Council further requests that staff regularly monitor and
review conditions at car washes that provide services to the City and that, if
necessary, that staff engage a third party evaluator for the purpose of
conducting such a review.
