0063 <br /> Mr. Ted Abernathy <br /> Page 2 <br /> February 9, 1998 <br /> 4 . 1 have not included an automatic living wage escalator, <br /> but have rather provided for periodic review and change in the <br /> Living Wage by ordinance amendment following a public hearing. <br /> Althbugh it is attractive to include automatic escalators because <br /> of their ease of administration, there are other considerations <br /> that suggest a different approach. One of those is the <br /> "education• benefit that flows from the public hearing process . <br /> Another is ensuring that any escalator makes sense in Orange <br /> County's economic environment. A third is ensuring that any <br /> living wage change is incorporated into Orange County's Pay <br /> Classification Plan. <br /> 5 . 1 have put this ordinance in "Code* format because <br /> Orange County will likely have an ordinance code by July 1, 1998 . <br /> I am available to answer any questions you may have. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Co GLEDHILL & HARGRAVE, P.C. <br /> y <br /> bGLEDI <br /> ledhill <br /> GEG/lsg <br /> Enclosure <br /> Xc: Margaret Brown <br /> Moses Carey, Jr. <br /> Bill Crowther <br /> Alice Gordon <br /> Stephen Halkiotis <br /> Pam Jones <br /> John M.
