EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Meeting Date: 6/8/2009
AGENDA #6a


Title of Agenda Item: Response to Orange County Organizing Committee’s Living Wage Policy Proposal.


Background: This memorandum provides follow-up information about the Orange County Organizing Committee’s living wage policy proposal as well as a resolution for Council consideration that would adopt a living wage policy for the Town of Chapel Hill.

Fiscal Note: The resolution would establish a living wage policy for the Town at $11.06 per hour for all standard 37.5 and 40-hour per week full time employees and would not result in a FY 2009-2010 budgetary impact.

Recommendations: The Council will consider a resolution to establish a living wage policy for the Town at $11.06 per hour for all standard 37.5 and 40-hour per week full time employees.  We also recommend that the Council consider reviewing the living wage policy wage rate on an annual basis as part of the Town’s budget development process.
