California Construction Compliance Group to Host Statewide Briefing

SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The California Construction Compliance Group (CCCG) will host a statewide briefing this Friday to unveil their third edition of the Charter Cities Report. It is the only report that describes the status of prevailing wage exemptions on locally-funded projects.

Many charter cities are not taking advantage of local control and their ability to achieve cost savings, the most recent examples include the bankrupt cities of Stockton and San Bernardino. More than ever, budget challenges are compromising the ability of the state and its local governments to maintain their workforce, fulfill pension obligations for their retirees, and provide adequate services to their citizens and other residents.

How can charter cities balance their budgets without raising taxes on residents and businesses and without cutting city services and operations? One way is to enact policies that allow wage rates for city construction contracts to more accurately reflect economic conditions in the local market region.

To learn which cities are taking advantage of their local control, download the Charter Cities Report from the CCCG website, www.caccg.org or call-in to Friday’s Report briefing.
