(B) Prior to final approval of contracts procured pursuant to the Town Code, pertaining to Town Council approval of services agreements, the town would consider the history of the proposer as an employer and the working conditions of the employer’s employees as deemed appropriate by the Town Council. The town shall be authorized to access and review the employer’s employee turnover, wages paid, benefits and employee grievances or complaints and consider references from entities engaged in prior contracts with the contractor or subcontractor. Any proprietary information, or personnel and employee information, shall be kept confidential.
