MOTION AND PROCEDURAL RULINGS
This cause originated in this court on the filing of a complaint for a writ of mandamus. Upon consideration of relators’ motions for show-cause contempt order and for sanctions,
The court finds that respondents are in contempt of the court’s writ.
It is ordered that respondents immediately comply with the writ by paying the city’s construction-equipment operators and master mechanics the difference between the prevailing-wage rates set forth in the Construction Employers Association Building Agreement between the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 18 and its branches, and the Construction Employers Association and the lower rates that they have been paid for the period beginning April 11, 2007 and through the February 20, 2008 date of the writ, plus postjudgment interest from the date of the writ.
It is further ordered that relators be awarded attorney fees related to their motions. Relators’ counsel is directed to submit a bill and documentation in support of the award, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Rule 1.5 of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct, within ten days of this entry. Respondents may file objections to relators’ bill and documentation within ten days of the filing of the bill and documentation, and relators may file a reply to respondents’ objections, if any, within five days of the filing of the objections.
