ITEM EXPLANATION
In response to Council direction on February 6, 1990 to resea hiring site alternatives, a survey and analysis of hiring si in Southern California was conducted. Results of the analysis summarized below under the headings (1) Background: (2) Surv
(3) Hiring Site Impacts: and (4) Options.
(1) Backsround - The origin of hiring sites can be traced several factors that are responsible for the large number
migrant workers in the United States and particularly South California, Most importantly, the social and economic conditi in Latin America have been, and for the foreseeable future w
continue to be, the impetus for migration to the North. M recently, the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (II; resulted in the legalization of nearly two (2) million aliens the last four (4) years. In addition, a separate legalizat program for farm workers that was expected to draw 250,
applicants, received 1.3 million applications and the apprc
rate has been nearly 100%. Finally, Southern California attre
immigrants because of the availability of jobs and the proxin of this area to their native country. In an attempt
accommodate this tremendous influx of new immigrants, and res1 to community concerns and complaints regarding loitering littering, some cities have established hiring sites.
(2) Survey - The following types of hiring sites were identij in a survey of hiring sites in Southern California:
I A desianated area where employers and workers are encouri to congregate:
A teleDhone exchanae through which jobs are arranged: an
A structure from which Itjob matchingt' and various sock
services are provided.
Survey results (Exhibit 2) produced the following findings:
all of the hiring sites attract many more workers than
employers;
a correlation between placement rate and the type of hi site established cannot be made:
the majority of hiring sites have been opened within the
year:

CITY HIRING SITE
In response to Council direction on February 6, 1990, the following report contains a
analysis of hiring sites in Southern California and a recommendation regarding a hiring sir
in Carlsbad. Section I is backgroun
information on the origin of hiring sites; Section I1 is a discussion of the results of a sum
of cities with hiring sites; Section I11 is a discussion of the impact of these hiring site
Section IV is a time phased Hiring Site Plan and a Regional and Legislative Approach I
the immigration issue; and Section V is staffs recommendation regarding a hiring site 1
Carlsbad.
I. BACKGROUND
The origin of hiring sites can be traced to several factors that are responsible for the larg
number of migrant workers in the United States. Most importantly, a significai
unemployment rate, escalating inflation and an economy forever on the edge of disastc
have resulted in a push from Latin America to the North that is well documented in U.
history and remains stronger than ever today. More recently, nearly 2 million aliens we
granted legal status under the landmark 1986 Immigration Reform and Control A
(IRCA). In addition, a separate legalization program for farm workers that was expectc
to draw 250,000 applicants, received 1.3 million applications and the approval rate h(
been nearly 100%. Finally, the Southwestern region, and particularly Southern Californi
attracts immigrants because of the availability of jobs and the proximity of this area
their native country. In an attempt to accommodate this tremendous influx of ne
immigrants, and respond to community concerns and complaints regarding loiterin
littering, trespassing, health and safety and sanitation issues, some cities have establish(
hiring sites.
II. SURVEY OF CITIES WITH HIRING SITES
A survey of cities in Southern California with some type of hiring site was conducted
identify a range of hiring site alternatives. Based on survey results, hiring sites can 1
categorized as "Site Only" and "Site with Services and Amenities." A description of t'
hiring sites found under these categories and a summary of the survey results follows.
The report is divided into several sections.
i 0 0
Description
Site Onlv - Hiring sites in this category have a designated place where employers an
workers can congregate, or where jobs are arranged through a telephone exchange. Citie
with hiring sites in this category include Laguna Beach and Dana Point.
Laguna Beach - Workers and employers are asked to meet at a "turn-out" on tf
side of a road. The "turn-out" is located next to a bus stop with a portion pave
for parking. A sign that reads "day labor hiring area" is posted at the site ar
portable toilets are provided. A Community Relations Officer in the Polic
Department monitors the site and disseminates information to the workers.
Dana Point - A telephone exchange service is provided in the City's Fire Statio
Workers and employers call the exchange and are "matched". A file of the worke
and employers is also kept for matching purposes. A marketing program for tl
exchange consists of posters, newspaper ads, post cards, business cards distributc
on the street and community service ads on Channel 3.
Site with Services and Amenities - Hiring sites in this category have a designated plac
where employers and workers can be matched. In addition, services and amenities su(
as referrals to social agencies and english classes are provided, and a temporary/permane
structure is established (a list of sample services and amenities offered at some of the:
hiring sites can be found under Section IV). Cities with hiring sites in this category inch
Calexico, Encinitas, Costa Mesa, Orange and Los Angeles.
Calexico - The City leases a building to the State Employment Developme
Department (EDD) and the United Farm Workers of America with the provisic
that workers be allowed to congregate in the adjacent parking lot each mornin
Spaces in the lot are designated for local employers to park their vehicles, and ED
"job developers" extend their services to the workers by "matching" them wi
employers.
Encinitas - The City of Encinitas parks a motor home on leased land 6 days a wee
The "Jobs Center" is staffed with City employees and EDD staff members. Worke
and employers are 'lmatched", referrals to government and social agencies a
provided and english classes are taught at the site.
Costa Mesa - The City leases a closed service station in an industrial section of to1
and has gutted the interior, and added minor improvements to the building. Sti
matches employers and workers and a police aide is stationed at the site to maintz
order.
e 0 -
.e Orange - The City bought a piece of property downtown where a trailer has bee1
set up. The site opened March 26, 1990. Currently, the City is implementing i
marketing campaign to encourage both workers and employers to use the site.
Los Angeles - The City set up a trailer in a Harbor City Regional Park when
workers can register their skills for prospective employers. The City provide(
coffee, doughnuts and a mariachi band, and sent buses to drive workers to the sitc
when it first opened. The City has plans for six more hiring sites.
Survey Results
Survey results produced several findings and areas of commonality between the hiring site
that can be broken down into (1) Length of Operation; (2) Documents Required; (3
Attendance vs. Placement; (4) Staffing; and (5) Solicitation Ordinances. A summary c
survey results is shown in the attached matrix marked Attachment 1.
(1) Length of Operation - The hiring site concept is relatively new. All but one of th
hiring sites (Costa Mesa) opened within the past year. The hiring site in Costa Mesa ha
been in operation for less than two years.
(2) Documents Required - Three of the cities surveyed (Calexico, Encinitas and Cost
Mesa) require proof of legal status. In the City of Orange, some form of identificatio
(ID) is required, but proof of legal status is not required. The cities designating a site on1
(Laguna Beach and Dana Point) do not monitor site usage for documented v
undocumented workers. The City of Los Angeles has adopted this policy for the hiring sit
in Harbor City also.
(3) Attendance vs. Placement - All of the hiring sites attract many more workers tha
employers. Placement rates range from 10% of the workers seeking employment to 639
and a correlation cannot be made between the placement rate and the category of sitc
("Site Only" or "Site With Services and Amenities").
f4) Staffing - The majority of hiring sites have a combination of both full time and pa
time staff dedicated to site operations.
(5) Solicitation Ordinances - Ordinances prohibiting solicitation of/for work on street
were found in four of the seven cities surveyed. These cities are Dana Point, Calexicc
Costa Mesa and Orange.
IIL HIRINGSI'TEIMPACTS
Cities which have initiated hiring sites have done so with the intention of reducing tl
number of community concerns and complaints related to migrant issues. Public outc
has focused on trespassing, loitering, health and safety, and sanitation issues. Cities ha7
attempted to respond by providing services to assist the "day-laborer" population obta
i 0 m
,
temporary or permanent employment for at least a minimum wage level. In effect, thes
local municipalities have taken on another responsibility, that of providing employment an
socially oriented services in the community. Cities now find that in order to meet th
increasing demands placed on them from these issues, they must dedicate significant sta
time, create new staff positions, or hire consultant coordinators to manage their program
Preliminary reports of "day-laborer" attendance at the established sites is not as significar
as was hoped. Participation at the hiring sites cannot be mandated, only encouragec
Unfortunately, the availability of jobs at these sites is limited, leaving many of those wh
come to the sites in search of work, unsuccessful at obtaining employment. If the workei
cannot find work at the hiring site, they typically resort to solicitation on streets, in par1
and at various locations prospective employers are known to frequent. At these sam
locations, there is another population of "day-laborers"; those who may not be eligible i
seek employment at city sponsored sites because they do not possess the require
for work at hiring sites. Recognizing hiring sites can only be as successful as the numbc
of employers and "day-laborers" who use the site, a growing number of cities have enacte
local ordinances which restrict solicitation.
Many cities had hoped to require employers to pay the "day-laborers" at least the minimu,
wage level rate. Cities indicate that while there is significant compliance, underpaymei
and non-payment continue to occur, and they are limited in their ability to enforc
employers to pay.
While these programs have succeeded in securing temporary and permanent employme
for some of the "day-laborers", no one argues that original problems and communi
concerns continue to exist. Until each employer halts curbside hiring in unauthorizt
areas, hiring sites like those highlighted in this report will be used by "day-laborers" (

Phase LA: SITE INVESTIGATION
Location: The City is investigating the feasibility of using Count
owned land located on the northeast section of Paloma
Airport Road and El Camino real, adjacent to the Safet
Center and Fire Station 5. Access would be provide
from Faraday Avenue. This site is considered to b
desirable from a non-residential, and pedestrian an
transportation is provided within a quarter mile of th
site.
A letter has been submitted to Supervisor MacDonalc
from Mayor Lewis, which inquires as to the feasibilil
of using a portion of the parcel for a location of a hirir
site. If the County Board of Supervisors should der
this request, other sites (some privately owned) will nee

For a site which provides a moderate level of services
the individual would be responsible for the coordinatioi

or facilities related to this issue. If the hiring site consist
of only minor improvements with no services providec
staffing on a part-time basis may be sufficient. Stai
will prepare a scope of work for this position unde

Time required to prepare the scope of work is 30 day!
Cost of this phase includes only staff time required t
prepare the scope of work.

Phase IIA: SITE ACQUISITION
Agreements: Once a site has been approved, some type of leasehenti
agreement will be necessary. The agreement should specify th
duration of the agreement, any cost concerns associated wit
the site and any other items normally associated with a
agreement of this type.
Once an agreement has been reached, the "time phased" pla
can be initiated. All time spans presented in the plan a1

Phase IIB: PUBLIC INFORMATION
Campaign: The City Council could consider implementing a publici
campaign which would be directed at "day-laborers", loc
employers, and residents. The campaign would educate the!
groups as to the purpose of the hiring site, site location, ai
local ordinances applicable to curbside hiring or a hiring sit

could consist of mailings, press releases, flyers, and bi-lingua
field representatives.
This effort would be conducted once a site has been acquire(
and would continue at some level throughout the site’:
existence.
Cost in this phase would vary depending upon the level oj
activity desired. This item would be budgeted on a yearly basiz
and could include:
Time:
cost:
rn Cost of printing
Cost of postage
I Cost of labor (field representatives)
Phase IIC: MINOR FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Facilities Improvements: Minor improvements would include chemical toilets,
trash receptacles and benches. A local catering service would
provide food service during morning hours.
Minor improvements could be added within 30 days of site
acquisition.
Estimated cost of the minor facility improvements are listed:
Time:
cost:
Chemical Toilets (2) $sOO/mo.
Trash Receptacles $200
(maintenance included)
Benches (including tie down) $400
Phase IID: APPLICATION FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
CUP: Temporary structures are not allowed in the City of
Carlsbad. As a result, a Conditional Use Permit would
be required in order to locate a modular or trailer at a
hiring site. Application will be made for the C.U.P
assuming a service oriented operation, in the event
Council decides to move forward with placement of a
temporary structure on the site.

3 Time: The estimated time involved with this Phase is 90 to 18
days depending on whether or not an environment;
review is required for the site selected.
Staff time represents the primary cost involved with th
phase, however if an Environmental Impact Repor
(EIR) is required, there could be additional costs relate1
to the preparation of the report.
cost:
Phase IIE: HIRING SITE STAFFING
Staffing: If a site with only "minor facilities" is selected,
temporary or part-time position would be required t
coordinate public information, reporting, sit
maintenance, etc .... The individual selected must be bi
lingual (Spanish).
If a site with "moderate services" is provided, thc
coordination effort will be more substantial. An effor
of this sort would require staffing on a full-time basis
The coordination effort would include: public informatioi
dissemination, reporting, site maintenance, "job
matching", document verification, etc.. .. The individua
selected must be bi-lingual (Spanish).
Time: Time required to staff the hiring site will depend up01
the type of site selected. If a site with "minor facilities'
is selected, the position could be staffed within 30 day!
of site acquisition, by part-time personnel. If i
"moderate services" approach is selected, staffing coulc
include professional recruitment or a Request foi
Proposal from a consultant or non-profit agenq
experienced in providing this type of service and
coordination effort. This approach could take 90 days
to complete.
The City's cost for staffing at a semi-professional, part-
time level is estimated between $15,000 to $20,000 per year, Full-time semi-professional staffing is estimated between $30,000 to $40,000 per year. If a more comple3
coordination effort is required, the cost for a full-time
professional position is estimated at $55,000 to $75,000
per year. If the site is staffed with consultant or "non-
profit" personnel, Costs would be available through the
Request for Proposal process.

Phase 111: SITE REVIEW
Within 60 days of opening the hiring site (with on1
minor facility improvements), City Council will revie1
progress of the site. Upon Council direction, staff wil
proceed to Phase IV.
Phase IV: SITE DEVELOPMENT
Improvements: Site development assumes a temporary structure will b
provided. Development can begin upon approval of th
CUP. Actual development of the parcel could involv
some degree of grading. If substantial grading 1
necessary, grading and erosion control plans would bc
required in addition to a grading permit.
Timing of this Phase is dependent upon approval of thl
CUP and the site selected. If no grading or only ver
minor grading (300 cubic yards or less) is required thi
process could take as little as 30 to 60 days. If the sit1
requires grading of a more substantial nature, the proces
could require 180 days to complete.
Cost of site development will be unavailable until i
specific site location has been determined. However, thc
following items represent an example of the types o
costs which the City could expect if significant gradinl
is necessary:
Time:
cost:
rn
rn Cost of equipment.
I Cost of materials.
rn
Cost of grading plan preparation.
Cost of professional staff-time involved iI
the review process.
Cost of performing work on the site (lab01
costs)

3 Phase V: HIRING SITE WITH SERVICES
Facilities & Improvements: Improvements to the hiring site could include tl.
addition of a "construction type" trailer. These traile
can be either purchased or rented. In addition, varioi
other amenities could be added:
rn Cellular Phone System
rn Outdoor Propane Heaters
rn Canopy (weather protection)
rn Bicycle Racks
rn Office Furniture and Supplies
Services: Services could be provided by the City, from non-prof
agencies, ecumenical groups or any group who desires to subm
a Request for Proposal for City review. Services could includ
"job matching" and referral information.
Time required to enhance the hiring site to provide a moderat
level of services would be dependent upon selection of
"service provider", the type of services proposed, and the tim
required to negotiate an agreement. A temporary structure an
associated amenities to the site could be in place within 30 day
of completion of site development. If outside agencies/grouF
provide services at the site, an additional 30 to 60 days may b

B. REGIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE APPROACH
The City's Immigration Study Task Force Report in 1987, indicated that "Despite the mal
needs of the newly documented immigrants within the City of Carlsbad, answers for ma
of the immigration issues simply cannot be handled on the municipal level." Regardle
of the complexity and magnitude of these needs, staff has prepared the following approac
to facilitate progress.
To address the magnitude of this issue it is important to involve the efforts of mal
agencies at all levels of government and the service providers. This approach could inch
the municipalities of North San Diego County, San Diego Association of Governmen
County of San Diego, local Community Colleges, State of California, California Assemt:
members, California Senators, Congressional leaders, the Federal Immigration ai
Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol. Listed below are a series of steps which tl
Council could adopt:
Local:
Continue to support State and Federal legislation and County effoi
based on the Legislative Platform adopted by the Council.
Begin coordinating legislative activities through the San Die!
Legislative Coalition for State Senate, Assembly, and Congressior
legislation addressing the day-laborer and immigration issues.
Monitor illegal camping, littering, and trespassing on private propert
Participate in a coordinated effort by all North San Diego Cour
Cities to express the needs for funding, assistance programs, a
staffing at the local, State and Federal level for local employme
assistance and agencies that provide services to immigrants.
Consider a City Solicitation Ordinance.
Request that SANDAG conduct an analysis of hiring sites whi
includes a recommendation on the advisability of establishing hiri
sites on a local and regional level.
State:
Continue to support State of California Assembly and Senate b
which would increase funding for agencies tasked with providi
services for immigrants.
Coordinate with Assembly member Frazee, Senator Craven and otl
.* ._ *r e e
ir appropriate legislators to encourage their assistance in developme
of new legislation which would increase funding for local employme
assistance programs such as hiring sites.
Work with the State Employment Development Department for mo
assistance in this region.
Propose a Resolution for consideration by the League of Califon
Cities’ Policy Development Committee regarding the impact
immigration on local municipalities.
Federal:
Encourage Congressional efforts to increase Federal funding
Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol.
Encourage adequate increases in Federal funding for Immigratic
Reform and Control Act for implementation purposes for tho
seeking asylum but who are not authorized to work in the Unit1
States.
Provide information to members of Congress discussing the impac
of immigrants and day-laborers on our City and the lack of resourc
available at the local level.
The Regional and Legislative Approach includes many different avenues with potential f
action today, in the near future and for years to come. Any or all of the above mention1
actions may be selected for inclusion in the Regional and Legislative Approach. A varic
will be necessary if the City of Carlsbad and this region is to receive the wide range
assistance and services to improve the opportunities for day-laborers and immigrants. TI
approach is designed to facilitate progress.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Council action would be to direct staff to initiate Phase I of the Hiring Site P1
(Site and Staffing Investigation). Staff will return to Council upon determinati
of a viable site location and development of a staffing strategy.
Council action would be to direct staff to initiate the Regional and Legislati
approach to addressing immigration issues which affect Carlsbad.
