that it bas taken on a mind of its own . SI>< <aid they are willing to .....t with Council in llyin1 to cornet
some of these perceptions. but they do not beltcve there truly is a problem. The pen:eived problem, she
noted, is that temporary help services cause or attnct ouisance activity. She said they bdie.,.c it is just the
opposi le, that they create jobs for people in all walks oflife. In addition. she stated, thry are concerned
about some specific pieces of this ordinance, one being the nontntnsferabilily of licensing . She said there
is a high level of activity from companies in their indusuy that MRI lo transfer their business and they
would want to do so freely . She said they are also conocmed fer the start up or smaller businesses in that
they do not have a large legal staff. She cited for an example tbal a start up business, for instance a
pcrmancnl placement business, might io1 .t ooc ae1omcr ISlt them to provide tcmpomy help, they say
okay , they arc DOW doing temporary help and they can therefore get their entire business pulled because
they had not filled out the appropriate papc"'""'· Ms. Steere commented that she spent two houn in a

to hear thal he would like to be able to SCJl'ftle out the type of business that Stand-By is considcftd to be
in, which they consider lhc industrial segment ~ temporary staffing. She noted tbal the ordinance was
rcwriuen 10 include a piece of this. but it docs not spe..ifically sepanlle out indllSlrial labor. Tbercforc, she
stated, they feel ii is too broad and it is go ing to include, not jUS1 where the pcn:cived problem is, but with
all temporary help. Which, she pointed oul. a,uld be the office clerical , the medical help, the engineering.
archilcctural help r"1d in many instances people who provide contract labor of any type could be drawn
into • perception of temporary help if it -,u gi.,..n to the righl person to inlcrprct this ordinance. She said
she is talltit•g about the type of people , such as dam entry operator, for a particular project or archi1"':IS or
