BACKGROUND: On February 2, 1988, the Board of 'Supervisors referred to our Committee a report made to the Board by Supervisor McPeak on December 1, 1987 recommending the establishment of a Fact-Finding Task Force on Out-of-State and Out-of-Area Workers. Our Committee has met with representatives of labor organizations, the building industry, and other private sector employers on several occasions. From these discussions we have formulated the above recommendations which we believe will assist in establishing the facts regarding the extent to which out-of-state and out-of-area workers are impacting the local economy, displacing local workers, making demands on County services, and whether this trend is increasing or not compared with historical data. We believe that gathering such factual data is essential in order to establish a baseline from which the Board can determine whether any further . actions are necessary to address whatever problems may be being caused ,by out-of-state and out-of-area workers. We have specifically indicated that the labor unions and private sector members of the Task Force should assist in providing secretarial support to the Task Force and such incidentals as duplicating materials and mailing costs. We. appreciate the willingness of the Director of Personnel to make a member of his staff available to the Task Force to assist in gathering data. However, we wish to emphasize that these tasks must not interfere with the ongoing responsibilities of the Personnel Department.
