Amending Section 39.02(9)(c) of the Madison General Ordinances to require contractors to interview qualified applicants referred by other organizations designated by the City in addition to applicants referred by the Affirmative Action Division.

This amendment would also require contractors to interview qualified applicants referred by other organizations designated by the City. See Resolution ID # 41556, a companion to this ordinance, which authorizes the Department of Civil Rights to designate such organizations.
