County Treated Leases May Cost Up to 30000 Annually
Public Works Director Charles Wagner warned that renegotiating county leases in North and South County buildings could raise costs to as much as 30000 per year under a revised anti discrimination in employment ordinance. The plan would exempt existing leases with renewal provisions, sparking opposition from the County Affirmative Action Commission and the County Commission for Women who call it a backward step for minorities.
