Agenda Item 6: The Board will hear a request from the County Administrator to approve the concept of Project Labor Agreement (PLA) terms for projects. A PLA is a multi-employer, multi-union pre-hire agreement designed to systematize labor relations at a construction site and promote the training of local workers into sustainable-wage jobs. Used in large-scale projects, a winning bidder for a project agrees to use labor assigned from union halls and agrees to utilize local apprentices, building a local workforce in skilled labor trades. The PLA will define the number or percentage of non-unionized workforce allowed on the project. Staff proposes guidelines on labor and wage conditions, wages and benefits, contract term maintenance, and hiring and training practices.

Agenda Item #13: No earlier than 1:30 p.m., the Board will hear a request from the Community Development Agency (CDA) to receive information report on the status of the expanded Stream Conservation Area (SCA) ordinance for the San Geronimo Valley. The SCA protects nature and regulates human-made improvements to property in that rural portion of unincorporated Marin. A forthcoming SCA ordinance would maintain a conservative approach while furthering environmental mandates while remaining consistent with the Countywide Plan. The Supervisors are not voting on the matter, only accepting a public progress report.
