Couter <br /> RE: Prevailing Wages <br /> Chapter 48 , Section 39s-9 of the Illinois Revised Statutes <br /> requires that each public body within the State during the month <br /> of June each year ascertain the prevailing rate of wages in its <br /> locality for public works projects and publicly post or keep <br /> available for inspection the same. These wages must then be paid <br /> by all contractors with the public body engaged in public works <br /> projects. The law further provides that the Department of Labor <br /> may, if requested by the public body, certify to it the rates of <br /> prevailing wages for the county in which the public body is <br /> located. In the past, the City has always requested of the <br /> Department a list of the prevailing wages and then adopted it by <br /> resolution. <br /> Responsive to Dan Sommerfeldt' s request, the Department of <br /> Labor has so certified such a list of prevailing wages to the <br /> City of Decatur, as of June, 1989 , and that list is ready for <br /> adoption by the Council on Monday, June 19 , 1989 . <br /> JWC:pm <br /> Attachment <br />
