Title
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.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance amends the requirement for City contractors to notify the City of job openings while their contract is pending and interview qualified candidates referred by the City. The only change is to allow referrals by outside organizations in addition to referrals by the Affirmative Action Division (AAD). Currently, contractors must interview all qualified applicants referred by the AAD. 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.
