WHEREAS, A Resolution introduced at the City Council meeting of June 25, 2014 commits the members of the City Council, from and after that Resolution's passage, to refrain from hiring potential employees whose names appear on the "Ineligible for Rehire" list maintained by the Department of Human Resources; and

Now, therefore, it is ORDERED;

  1. That the Commissioner of Human Resources, the City Comptroller, the City Clerk and the Budget Director shall jointly develop, implement and maintain a mandatory process whereby all applicants for employment by Aldermen, City Council Committees and City Council Service Agencies, prior to commencing employment, have their names cross-checked against the current version of the "Ineligible for Rehire" list, and such applicants are not eligible to begin work or be placed on the City payroll unless and until they successfully complete that cross-check.
  2. That the Commissioner of Human Resources or her designee shall promptly inform the relevant Alderman of the result of the cross-check required by Section 1 of this Order, following the determination of that result.
  3. That promptly following passage of this Order, the Commissioner of Human Resources shall provide to the City Council, through the Committee on Workforce Development and Audit, a true and accurate copy of the "Ineligible for Rehire" list as it exists on the date of passage.
