E-Verify implementation
At a glance
- What: The city has not yet put E-Verify in place for its own employees; Councilor Fiebelkorn had been told it would be ready by the end of October.
- Where it stands: The federal rule that would have made E-Verify mandatory was postponed to December. A city director said the city is evaluating systems and internal protocols to avoid fines, and uses a stopgap through agreements with the community college. One employee cannot be given a visa type that requires E-Verify.
- What's next: Councilor Fiebelkorn asked the administration to keep to the timeline it promised; no new date was given.
