Page 2 <br />The California Supreme Court has granted MWD's Petition for Review. Unless overturned, <br />the Cargill decision will require all CalPERS contracting agencies to enroll workers who <br />meet the "common-law employee" definition in CalPERS, even if those workers were paid <br />and employed by private companies. <br />The Court of Appeal's underlying decision could likely impose significant unexpected <br />operational, financial and administrative burdens on local public agencies by severely <br />limiting their ability to use temporary labor and consulting services. We believe that the <br />success of the amicus brief and a favorable outcome for MWD will be of great importance. <br />Therefore, we request the City Council to authorize the City's participation in the amicus <br />curiae brief in the matter of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California et al v <br />Superior Court of California (Cargill). <br />ALTERNATIVES: <br />Direct the City Attorney to advise MWD to list the City of Colton as a supporter of <br />the amicus curiae brief. <br />Take no action. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />None. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None, <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council join in the amicus curiae brief. <br />Report Prepared By: Dean Derleth, City Attorney <br />Attachment <br />RVPUB�KXM631285 <br />
