The provisions of this chapter shall apply to any major employers or voluntary work sites within the corporate limits of the city of Monroe.

A. Notification of Applicability.

1. In addition to Monroe’s established public notification for adoption of an ordinance, a notice of availability of a summary of this chapter, a notice of the requirements and criteria for major employers and voluntary work sites to comply with this chapter, and subsequent revisions shall be published at least once in Monroe’s official newspaper not more than thirty days after passage of the ordinance codified in this chapter, or revisions.

2. Major employers and voluntary work sites located in Monroe are to receive written notification that they are subject to this chapter. Such notice shall be addressed to the company’s chief executive officer, senior official, or CTR manager at the work site. Such notification shall provide ninety days for the major employer to perform a baseline survey. After the results of the baseline survey are provided to the major employer, they have ninety days to submit a CTR program to the city.

3. Major employers and voluntary work sites that, for whatever reason, do not receive notice within thirty days of passage of the ordinance codified in this chapter and are either notified or identify themselves to the city within ninety days of the passage of the ordinance will be granted an extension to assure up to ninety days within which to perform a baseline survey. After the results of the baseline survey are provided to the major employer, they have ninety days to submit a CTR program to the city.

4. Major employers that have not been identified or do not identify themselves within ninety days of the passage of the ordinance, do not complete a baseline survey within ninety days, or do not submit a CTR program within one hundred eighty days are in violation of this chapter.

5. If a major employer or voluntary work site has already performed a baseline survey, the major employer or voluntary work site is not required to perform another survey and is required to submit a CTR plan to the city within ninety days.

B. New Major Employers and Voluntary Work Sites.

1. Employers that meet the definition of “a major employer” in this chapter must identify themselves to the city within ninety days of either moving into the boundaries of Monroe or growing in employment at a work site to one hundred or more affected employees. Such employers shall be given ninety days to complete a baseline survey, and an additional ninety days to submit a CTR program once the baseline survey results are given to the employer. The CTR program will be developed in consultation with the city and implemented not more than ninety days after the program’s approval. Employers who do not implement an approved CTR program according to this section are in violation of this chapter.

2. Employers that do not identify themselves within ninety days are in violation of this chapter.

3. New major employers shall have four years from the city’s acceptance of the program to meet the CTR reduction goals as stated in the city’s CTR plan.

C. Change in Status as a Major Employer. Any of the following changes in an employer’s status will change the employer’s CTR program requirements:

1. If an employer initially designated as major employer no longer employs one hundred or more affected employees and expects not to employ one hundred or more affected employees for the next twelve months, that employer is no longer a major employer. It is the responsibility of the employer to notify the city that it is no longer an employer.

2. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred or more affected employees within the same twelve months, that employer will be considered a major employer for the entire twelve months and will be subject to the same program requirements as other major employers.

3. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred or more affected employees twelve or more months after its change in status to an unaffected employer, that employer shall be treated as a new major employer and will be subject to the same program requirements as other new major employers.
