City and employer duties in public works and labor rules
The city’s Public Works director says the drainage ditch along 31st Street is in the city right of way and must be kept clear. A labor conciliator notes that neither state nor federal law requires benefits for part time workers. employers determine hours and benefits. City inspectors state that final grading to direct storm water away from foundations is required after a single family home is completed, with developers delaying final grading until landscaping begins.
