City relies on Magcor contract labor across departments; staff outline controls and benefits
Summary
Officials described Magcor (contract labor) as providing landscaping, amphitheater setup and utility labor across departments; staff said workers are paid without benefits and sometimes receive debit cards to pay restitution, and noted controls for timesheets and departmental coding.
Agency official described Magcor's work across water, sewer, streets and city facilities, saying the contractor supplies trained laborers who perform tasks ranging from lift-station work to amphitheater setup and holiday light installations. "Anything and everything, landscaping in the city, which we're trying to move towards a contract for that," Agency official said.
Staff explained pay and oversight: Magcor workers are paid as employees without benefits, their time is coded to departments, and the program can help pay restitution for participants. Staff said there are time-reporting controls and department-based time sheets to allocate labor costs accurately.
