Director of Corporate Services -j- /7n--:e Reviewed bi ~~ ~- Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer MM/LAB/km REPORT NO.: COD-020-06 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT At the Council meeting of June 27, 2005, resolution C-333-05 was approved which implemented a Fair Wage Policy for the Municipality of Clarington for all ICI (Industrial, Commercial, Institutional) projects in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00). The Fair Wage Policy was implemented for a one year period, with staff to report back to Council in June 2006. Subsequent to this, the Municipality of Clarington has not had any ICI Construction contracts of this dollar value. It is anticipated however that two projects meeting this criteria will be tendered within the next year, that being the Newcastle Recreational Facility and the Newcastle Library. It is therefore recommended that the existing policy be extended for one additional year and that staff report back to Council in June, 2007. For the information of Council, all feedback received to date on the policy has been positive.
