"Reciprocity Agreement" Reached Despite Hill's "Acrimonious" Bill
Turns out that San Francisco's local hire laws - billed as the toughest in the nation, which mandate city residents be hired on construction projects receiving city funds, and which triggered a reactionary anti-local hire law from a San Mateo Assemblyman -- aren't just for San Franciscans.
The local hire laws also apply to residents of San Mateo County, where San Francisco International Airport and bits of the Hetch-Hetchy Aqueduct are located, according to Supervisor John Avalos, who authored the legislation.
That local hire guarantees jobs for San Mateo County residents as well as San Franciscans is old news for Avalos -- but it was a harder sell to Peninsula politicians, who needed a signed-and-delivered "reciprocity agreement" which codifies the arrangement.

This agreement, negotiated by the City Attorney and San Mateo County counsel, could be signed as early as today, according to sources familiar with the arrangement, and will be unveiled by San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and San Mateo politicians in the next few days.
