Title
Amending Section 39.02(9)(a)2.g. of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify the meaning of “municipality” for purposes of the exception to affirmative action contracting requirements.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Section 39.02(9)(a)2. creates exceptions to the City’s affirmative action requirement for contractors, including the requirement to submit an Affirmative Action Plan to the City’s Department of Civil Rights for approval prior to release of payment.
One of the exceptions to this requirement is for “contracts with other municipalities.” The word “municipality” is not currently defined. This amendment would adopt the meaning of “municipality” found in Wis. Stat. § 66.0301(1)(a), which is a list of governmental units considered to be municipalities for purposes of Intergovernmental Cooperation. (This statute also includes the state and state agencies, but these will not be considered municipalities under this ordinance amendment.) By including a reference to this statute, it will be very clear whether a local governmental unit is considered a “municipality” for purposes of the City’s Affirmative Action contracting policies.
