San Francisco County Municipal Code § 103.2 Determination

It shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors (“the Board”), from time to time and at least once during each calendar year, to fix and determine the Prevailing Rate of Wages as follows: (a) On or before the first Monday in November of each year, the Civil Service Commission (“the Commission”) shall furnish to the Board data as to the highest general Prevailing Rate of Wages of the various crafts and kinds of labor as paid in private employment in the City, plus “per diem wages” and wages for overtime and holiday work. “Per diem wages” means “per diem wages” as defined in California Labor Code Sections 1773.1 and 1773.9, as amended from time to time. Based on the data, the Commission shall also recommend to the Board rates for the Prevailing Rate of Wages. (b) The Board of Supervisors shall, upon receipt of such data, fix and determine the Prevailing Rate of Wages no later than December 31 of that year. If the Board does not fix and determine the Prevailing Rate of Wages by December 31, the Commission’s recommended rates shall become the effective Prevailing Rate of Wages for the coming calendar year. (c) The Prevailing Rate of Wages as so fixed and determined by the Board (or as described above set by the Commission in the absence of Board action by December 31) shall remain in force and be deemed to be the highest general Prevailing Rate of Wages paid in private employment for similar work, until the same is changed for that calendar year by the Board. (d) Unless the Board expressly states otherwise, the Prevailing Rate of Wages as set by the Board (or as described above set by the Commission in the absence of Board action by December 31) shall track and match future wage determinations issued by the California Department of Industrial Relations. (e) In determining the highest general Prevailing Rate of Wages, as provided for in this Section 103.2, the Board shall not be limited to the consideration of data furnished by the Commission, but may consider such other evidence upon the subject as the Board shall deem proper and thereupon base its determination upon any or all of the data or evidence considered. (f) In the event that the highest general Prevailing Rate of Wages are not fixed and determined under this Section 103.2 for any calendar year, the rates established by the California Department of Industrial Relations for such year shall be deemed adopted; and if the Department of Industrial Relations does not so establish a rate for a craft or kind of labor, the most recent rate set under Section 103.2 for that craft or kind of labor shall remain in effect.
