The City of Santa Monica's Living Wage Ordinance, Santa Monica Municipal Code Chapter 4.65 ("Living Wage Ordinance"), requires the payment of Minimum Wage for work done on any Contract over a certain threshold to any worker who does not actually work as a manager, supervisor or confidential employee, and who is not required to possess an occupational license. The established Minimum Wage includes an annual adjustment each July 1st by an amount corresponding to the previous calendar year's change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange Counties. If the Living Wage Ordinance applies to services sought pursuant to this proposal, proposers are required to prepare and upload the Living Wage Ordinance Certification Form included in Attachments . If the proposer is selected, the proposer must maintain payroll records that include, at minimum, the full name of each employee providing services under the contract, job classification and rate of pay. Proposers that fail to include this Certification Form may be considered non-responsive and excluded from further consideration. Santa Monica's voters adopted a City Charter amendment commonly known as the Oaks Initiative. It prohibits a public official from receiving specified personal benefits from a person or entity after the official votes, or otherwise takes official action, to award a "public benefit" to that person or entity. Examples of a "public benefit" include public contracts to provide goods or services worth more than $25,000 or a land use approval worth more than $25,000.
