Dear Anaheim City Council Members,
Iamwriting insupport ofhotel andevent center workers inAnaheim. Asgentrification accelerates andbig companies raise prices, essential workers who have formed Anaheim’score community fordecades arebeing pushed outoftheir homes because theirwages donotrisewiththecostofliving. Southern California israpidly becoming somewhere only wealthy people canafford tolive, andthatisnotright with our history, ourvalues, or ourbest interests. Iurge youtosupport workers andtheir unions against hotel management companies forthegood ofallinthecity.

Sincerely,
Erin Rubin

Subject:\[ EXTERNAL\] OrderaSpecialElection - HotelWorker Initiative Warning: Thisemail originated fromoutside theCityofAnaheim. Donotclicklinksoropen attachments unless yourecognize thesender andareexpecting themessage.

DearAnaheim CityCouncil,
OnJune13youwillconsider anordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout theCityof Anaheim. While promoted byUNITE HERE Local 11asameasure toincrease hotelworker safety, thispoorly drafted proposal contains wage andwork rules requirements thatwould devastate Anaheim hotels, withripple effects thatwould gutAnaheim’sbudget.

Amajority ofthecouncil wascorrect toreject outright adoption atitsMay16meeting andinstead direct an economic impact study. Weurge adoption toberejected again. Instead, theCityCouncil should place this matter ontheballotforthepeople todecide inaspecial election laterthisyear.

Asamatter ofpolicy, thehotelproposal written byUNITE HERELocal 11would beadisaster.

Imposing theproposed wage andwork rulesonAnaheim hotelswould beacostly newmandate. Many workers whoweresupposed tobenefit willlikely seetheirhours reduced ortheirjobseliminated. Larger hotelswill raisetheirprices forrooms, amenities, andservices, resulting infewer hotelstays andless taxrevenue forthe city. Smaller hotels, including family owned “mom andpop” hotels, willlikely justgooutofbusiness.

Theincreased costsofdoing business inAnaheim overall willmake ittougher forAnaheim toattract andretain thebigtrade shows andconventions, likeNAMM andNatural Products, andmake ittougher forfamilies and tourists tojustify thecosts ofavacation totheAnaheim Resort.

Those increased costs couldalsoresult inachilling effect oneconomic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: intheAnaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including newhotels, could slowdownorbecanceled outright because nobusiness willwanttomake asignificant investment ina citywhere costs aregoing toskyrocket.

From apractical standpoint, theproposal’s10-dayimplementation window isonethatwould be impossible tomeet during theDecember 2024 holiday rush, which isexactly what hotels would befaced withifthemeasure wassuccessful intheNovember 2024General Election. Ifpassed inaspecial election, themeasure would atleastbesomewhat lessdifficult forsome hotels toimplement within 10days.

Wehope thatitwillnotcome tothis, however.

Hello Mayor Aitken, Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava, and Councilmembers, I know you have been receiving a ton of emails and letters concerning Unite Here’ s Anaheim Hotel Ballot Measure. I wanted to send a personalized letter rather than a form letter to let you know about the small businesses and people this measure will affect. I am sorry but it will be long but with our company being in Anaheim for almost 50 years as well as the devastating effects of this measure, there is a lot to say.

Shirish Hansji is an immigrant from India who came to America in the late 60’s with only a few dollars in his pocket. In the early 70’s Shirish came to Anaheim from Virginia after saving every penny he could while he worked in the State Controller’ s Office. Shirish was a hard worker and after a few years he had saved enough money to buy a 26-room motel in Anaheim ( 2176 South Harbor) in August of 1974. After years of hard work with 18-hour days seven days a week, Shirish and his wife Pushpa had saved enough money to buy another motel across the street 2145 S Harbor – 60-rooms). From there Shirish and Pushpa raised 2 children ( Rajan and Aarti) who grew up in Anaheim, living in those motels and helping in the family business from a very young age. Shirish also sent for his brother who was in India, to come and help run the family business. Shirish was an accountant by trade and Arun was a master in facilities management.

Together, Shirish and Arun had bought several motels in Anaheim over the years, investing capitol to bring the motels into today’s standards. Shirish has since retired and his son Rajan took over the family business around 2008.

From 2000 to present, Hansji’ s Anaheim properties have generated nearly $150,000,000 in TOT revenue for the City of Anaheim, while taking all of the risk in this venture. The City’s role in this partnership has been to open and few envelopes and deposit checks into the general fund each month. The Hansji Family currently owns Del Sol Inn (59 rooms), Anaheim Desert Inn (145 rooms) and Desert Palms Hotel (189 rooms). We also have a partial ownership in Cortona Inn 127 rooms).

In February of 1997, I started at Coachman Inn (the 2nd motel above) as a weekend night auditor.

I had a full-time job during the week but wanted a change in my weekend job (I had worked 7 days a week for years with two to three jobs at a time). A few months later, I quit my weekday job and moved to the hotel full-time. Due to the ability to move up in a hotel is based on initiative, drive, ambition and common sense, I moved up quickly and by September of 1997, I had been made General Manger of that motel ( fake it till you make it!). In October of 2000, I was transferred to Desert Palms on Katella @ Harbor as General Manager, and eventually moved up to head Operations and Technology for all of the Hansji family’ s businesses.

About the same time Shirish arrived in Anaheim, I was a young child growing up in Anaheim, going to Horace Mann Elementary, Fremont Junior High (its’ final year) and Loara High School. I met my wife in high school and we have been together 40 years this year. We have three children who were all born in three different hospitals in Anaheim. My oldest daughter started working at Desert Palms while in high school and has been there for 14 years. My middle son has worked at two different hotels in the Anaheim Resort. My youngest son is in college but I am sure he will make his way into a hotel in the Anaheim Resort someday.

I sit on the Board for several organizations in the Anaheim Resort, with most being as an Executive Committee member ( Anaheim Tourism Investment District Transpiration Fund-Chair - 631 WEST KATELLA AVE. FIFTH FLOOR ANAHEIM, CA 92802

Visit Anaheim- Vice Chair, Anaheim Resort Transit- Vice Chair, Anaheim/ Orange County Hotel & Lodging Association- Immediate Past Chair, Anaheim Police Chief’ s Advisory Council- Member). I have been very involved in the Boy Scouts over the past 20 years, most recently serving as the District Chairman for the Valencia District of Orange County Boy Scouts of America, which covers Anaheim, Fullerton, Brea, Placentia and parts of La Habra. My two sons are Eagle Scouts and I currently serve as an Eagle Advisor, Merit Badge Counselor and Assistant Scoutmaster for OCBSA.

We are a homegrown family and a homegrown company.

Now that you know a little about myself and the Hansji family, I wanted to let you know how devastating this ballot measure will be on Anaheim Hotels, especially for the smaller independent operators like myself as well as for the City of Anaheim. Obviously, a jump from around $17 to 18 an hour to $25 an hour will be a huge burden on the hotel operations costs. This increase would not just affect staff under the $25 an hour baseline, it would affect all hourly and salary staff. Currently, payroll is the biggest expense in hotel operations and 25% to 30% increase in payroll will be very hard to absorb. To do this, we would have to significantly raise prices for our rooms to meet the additional expense. That sounds easy but as we raise prices, demand goes down, causing rooms to go empty, costing our company and our partner, the City of Anaheim an untold amount in revenue. Most hotels also have negotiated group and convention contracts that go beyond 2030 with no ability to increase those rates.

So yes, the Union getting involved in the wage of non-union members will have devastating effects on its own. But this is not our only or even main concern.

1. The measure has restric ons on what we clean and how we clean it. It does not allow us to service guest rooms on a mul- day basis, demanding that all guestrooms are serviced every day. This has not been the standard in hotels since covid and if it were, I have not had the staff since reopening to service all of my rented rooms on a daily basis and would be forced to close down rooms that I could not clean. For years (even before Covid) hotels have been offering guests a rebate in cash or rewards points to forgo daily cleaning to save water, cleaning chemicals, life of linen and terry and labor. This would not be allowed under this ac on. Every room must be cleaned every day.

2. The industry standard to clean a standard hotel room has been 30 minutes for years. In an 8-hour shi, housekeepers would typically clean 13-15 rooms. The standard size of a hotel guestroom is 13 x 28 = 364sf., however the size of the room doesn’t have much effect on the me it takes to clean a room, it is more related to what is in the room number of beds, number of bathrooms, kitchen and so forth) and addi onal me is giving for addi onal items in the room. If a standard room at 450sf at one hotel has 1 bed, 1 bathroom and no kitchen, the addi onal square footage of addi onal floor space or furniture had litle effect on the me or effort to clean it. This measure however has a cap of 4000 total square feet of space, regardless of the amount of cleaning in that space. With these facts in mind, the typical 15 rooms would drop to 10 if we were going to stay below the 4000sf double wage threshold (not coun ng any deduc ons). That would mean in addi on to the 25% higher wage, I would have to have four team members to clean what three team members currently clean which is an addi onal 631 WEST KATELLA AVE. FIFTH FLOOR ANAHEIM, CA 92802
714- 399- 0150 TEL 714- 399- 0151 FAX
www.hansji.com
65,000 for every three team members I have. This does not include common areas such as hallways, mee ng space, retail space, F& B space and so on.

There are deduc ons of 500sf from the 4000sf cap for floor moves, building moves, check-out rooms, and rooms with 2 or more beds (including sofas). If that amount is exceeded a er deduc ons, a penalty of 100% is assessed on the wage of that day, making the mandated $ 25 an hour $50 for that day. This included common areas.

Anaheim is a family des na on and I would be willing to bet that 95% of the hotel rooms in Anaheim have at the very least a double bed and a sofa. At Desert Palms, 100% of my rooms have 2 beds minimum ( coun ng sofas) under that defini on. This would give a 500sf deduc on for each room cleaned meaning that I would max out at 4 rooms per team member to stay below the double minimum wage rate ($50). With these deduc ons, I would have to have 2.5 addi onal team members to clean what 1 team member currently cleans. That is and addi onal $165,000 for each set of 12 rooms I rent daily per year.

At Desert Palms my lobby is about 4000sf. This room is spot cleaned all day long but for a total of probably 4 hours of labor in a 24-hour period, which includes moping the floor overnight. That cost with wage, work comp and taxes about is $33,000 a year. This measure would have me have a dedicated person on three shi s a day (24 hours instead of 4) to keep it clean. The new cost under this measure just to clean the lobby would be 273,000. If the space exceeds 4000sf, that cost would DOUBLE.

3. I am also very concerned about the li ga on aspect of this law. I see employees suing the hotels sta ng that they are not adhering to the ballot measure, leaving the burden of proof on the hotel. It really makes no difference if the allega ons are true or not. We all know anyone can sue anyone for anything in California and unfortunately it is easier to setle than pay out a huge claim.

4. The tag line for this measure is about safety however that is just to get the voter’s aten on. Unfortunately, this measure has prevented myself and other hoteliers from installing these devices to way and see what happens with this measure. I have not spoken to one hotelier that has a problem ini a ng some sort of panic buton for our team members. I would hate to install a system that has a capitol cost of $50,000+ to find out it does not meet the needs of the measure.

5. There are other effects of this measure that affect the value of the hotels in Anaheim when refinanced or sold. In 2005, The Hansji Family, in partnership with Ajesh Patel and Bill O’Connell, built Doubletree Suites on Harbor and Orangewood. Shirish purchased the land (which was a shutered grocery store at the me) a few decades ago, wai ng for the right me to build two hotels on the land. Due to the cost of running a 4-star hotel, the 2nd hotel, which was fully en tled, was never built. If this hotel had been built in 2010 as ini ally proposed, it would have generated $ 36.5 million dollars for the City of 631 WEST KATELLA AVE. FIFTH FLOOR ANAHEIM, CA 92802
714- 399- 0150 TEL 714- 399- 0151 FAX

Anaheim to date. Late last year, the Ownership group had the Doubletree Suites in escrow, but the buyer dropped out when they heard about the Unite Here ballot measure and the addi onal costs it would add to opera ng the hotel. The hotel was eventually sold in Q1 of this year however at an $8 million dollar price reduc on due to the effects of this ballot measure.

I hope that helps gives the perspective of an independent hotel operator in Anaheim. I am happy to discuss any of the information above in detail if you have questions or comments. This measure will close hotel rooms as well as I feel it will close hotels. We cannot survive with the effects of this measure and need help in getting this ballot measure on a special election as soon as possible. It has already cost our company 8,000,000.

Themeasure wouldputlocal, familyowned businesses, including mostofthecity’shotelowners, atriskasthey wouldfaceadramatic increase inoperating costsafterbeingclosed foralmost twoyearsduring theglobal pandemic.

Operating ahotel inAnaheim iswhatmyfamilyhasdoneforthree generations, serving ourguests, providing careers forourteammembers and beingproudambassadors forthecity,” saidGregEisenman, General Manager ofthefamily-owned Tropicana InnandtheCamelot Inn. “Now, thisspecial interest laborunionwantstoraiseourcosts39percent inoneyearanddictate unscientific workrules!

RE: Agenda Item 30 (Hotel And Event Center Worker Protection, Retention, And Minimum Wage Ordinance)/ Letters from Association Members Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of the City Council:

On behalf of the Anaheim/Orange County Hotel & Lodging Association, I urge you to order a special election to address the Hotel and Event Center Worker Protection, Retention, And Minimum Wage Ordinance.

While we understand that city staff has been directed to undertake and report its findings on the wider consequences of the initiative on the city, the hospitality industry already knows that the wage, workplace rules, and implementation written into the initiative make it unworkable, impractical, and unrealistic to abide by even under the best of circumstances.

If voters were to approve the measure in a November 2024 election, hotels would have to implement it at the peak of the December 2024 holiday season, when many of the nation’s few hospitality professionals qualified to oversee such a process would likely be unavailable, especially on such short notice. The implementation mandate forces large and small hoteliers to undertake massive administrative, personnel, and technical changes to policies and procedures at the most inopportune time.

We are also deeply concerned about the financial implications that the initiative will impose on our city’s convention center, which according to the report the city commissioned Baker Tilly to complete, will see an initial loss of $8.6 million that will impact Anaheim’s general fund, creating a significant deficit year after year that will inevitably affect programs and services that Anaheim residents rely on. Major bookings for the Anaheim Convention Center happen years in advance, and 15 months of uncertainty will only increase our city’ s chances of losing major conventions like the NAMM and the Natural Products Expo to cities like Las Vegas in the years to come.

Not only does this initiative strain the city’s budget, but it will have disastrous consequences for organizations like the YMCA, schools, religious groups, and other organizations that host events and qualify as event centers under its poorly and vaguely written language. This is just one example of how the initiative’s unintended consequences could have a significantly detrimental impact across swaths of the city’s economy that have nothing to do with hospitality. Surely, such an overly broad and overreaching measure deserves quick resolution – the residents of Anaheim certainly do.

For these reasons, the Anaheim/ Orange County Hotel and Lodging Association respectfully requests that you order the initiative a special election in September 2024 and not leave the people and businesses of Anaheim in a cloud of uncertainty for the next 15 months. Please find enclosed additional letters from a selection of our association members.

Sincerely,
Samantha L. Marquez
Executive Director

RE: Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative
Mayor Aitken, Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava, and Councilmembers:

On behalf of the Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort I am writing to ask that the pending Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative (the “Initiative”) be placed on the ballot for the voters of Anaheim to decide at a special election later this year.

While we understand that city staff has been directed to undertake and report its findings on the wider consequences of the Initiative on the city, the hospitality industry already knows that the wage, workplace rules, and implementation written into the Initiative make it unworkable, impractical, and unrealistic to abide by even under the best of circumstances.

If voters were to approve the measure in a November 2024 vote, implementation would be mandated in the peak of the December 2024 holiday season, when a number of hotel professionals needed to oversee this process would likely be unavailable. The implementation mandate forces hoteliers, large and small, to undertake massive administrative, personnel, and technical changes to policies and procedures at the most inopportune time.

A special election in the late summer or fall of 2023 allows hoteliers more ability to put any new mandated rules into effect, were the Initiative to be approved.

While we stand in steadfast support of and agree with the worker safety and “panic button” provisions of the Initiative, we oppose the wage mandate and workplace rules which would devastate smaller Anaheim hotels and force larger ones to increase their costs to consumers – and slash TOT revenue to the city in the process.

Voters in Anaheim deserve the chance to vote upon the proposal sooner rather than later.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope you will support a special election.

A special election in the late summer or fall of 2023 allows hoteliers more ability to put any new mandated rules into effect, were the Initiative to be approved.

Further, if the Initiative is successful at the ballot box in November 2024, the City of Anaheim may find it necessary to hire additional staff, or even to create an additional new department, in order to monitor and enforce the ordinance. Again, this timing would necessarily coincide with the 2024 holidays.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope you will support a special election.

On behalf of the Best Western Plus Anaheim Inn I am writing to ask that the pending Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative (the Initiative”) be placed on the ballot for the voters of Anaheim to decide at a special election later this year.

A special election in the late summer or fall of 2023 allows hoteliers more ability to put any new mandated rules into effect, were the Initiative to be approved.

3 The California Hotel & Lodging Association (CHLA) engaged Tourism Economics toanalyzetheeconomic impact ofthe Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance (HWPO) thattook effectin August 2022 withinthe City of LosAngeles, CA. Wedeveloped an
understanding ofthe HWPO andits impact onhotel operations andprepared aneconomic model toquantify its expected impacts.

Key Observations
Overall, in2025as anexampleyear, weestimate that withthe HWPO, Los Angeles will experience:

6.8% higher hotel average daily rate (ADR)

5.0% declineinoccupiedhotel room nights
603.3 millionoflost direct economic activity,
including $335.8 millionless visitor spending and
267.5 millionless hotel capital spending
Theseimpacts areexpected toresultinbroader losses tothe Los Angeles economy. Specifically, weanticipate thattheloss of visitor spending andloss of hotel capital spending willresultin the:
loss of 5,856jobs inother sectors oftheeconomy,
includingtheloss of 1,542direct hotel construction
andrenovation jobs.

Overall, weestimate a:

51.5 milliondecrease instateandlocal tax revenues
in2025as aresult ofHWPO, reflecting a $4.8 million

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
increase inlodgingtaxes duetohigher room rates but
declines inothertax categories.

The HWPO contains several provisions. Ofthese, the most significant impacttohotel operations results from workload limitations forroom attendants that restricttheamount of space they arepermitted tocleaneachday at standard pay. Hotels have adjusted operations inresponsetothese restrictions, suchas by hiringadditional staff or/or payingtwicestandard pay.

Overall, as aresult of HWPO, hotels areexperiencing an
approximate doublingof housekeeping labor costs (room
attendants and managers).

Wequantified how weanticipate this costincrease will impactthe Los Angeles hotel market over time, relativetoanalternative scenario withoutthe HWPO. Wehaveused2025as asummary
year, allowingseveral years for hotel operations andcustomer behavior toadapt tothechange.

Inour analysis, weanticipate that hotels will continuetorespond tohigher labor costs per occupiedroom by: (1) increasing ADR and fees, (2) reducing services andstaffinother departments, (3) scalingback planned renovations. Wealsoanticipatethatthe development of new hotels inthe market will slow.

As travelers, including meetings and groups, respond tohigher room rates and reduced services, weexpect hotel demand will declinerelative tothealternative scenario withoutthe HWPO, resultinginless visitor spending inLosAngeles.

5 OnJune28, 2022, theLos Angeles City Council approved anew Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance (HWPO) that wentinto
effect onAugust 12, 2022. The HWPO contains several
provisions. Ofthese, the most significant impact tohotel operations results from workloadlimitations forroom
attendants. Therestrictions includelimits ontheamount of guest room spacethat room attendants may cleaninaday. These limits arereduced incertaincases, suchas attendants assigned rooms tocleanthat areonseveral different floors.

Hotels areresponding tothese restrictions inavariety of ways. In somecases, room attendants arecleaning more rooms thanthe limitation, andas stipulatedin HWPO, hotels arepayingstaff double thestandard ratefor each day. Thedoublerateof pay applies toevery hour worked that day includinghours worked beforesquare footage limit has been reached. Inother cases, hotels arehiringadditional room attendants, whilelookingto reduce other staffingattheproperty. Someproperties aretaking rooms out ofinventory temporarily duetolack of staffing.

ORDINANCE SUMMARY
Thefollowingare measures from thenew Hotel Worker
Protection Ordinance.
1) installationof panic buttons
2) on-call security for hotels with60+ rooms or annual manager training withfewer than60rooms,
3) leavefor employees whoactivateapanic button
4) documented attendance for annual stafftrainingregarding maintenance anduseof panic buttons
5) signage installation

6 The Citywide Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance was also amended. Previously, theelevated minimum wageandtimeoff requirements for hotel workers only applied to workers inhotels with150+ guest rooms. Hotels with60+ rooms arenow included under thesamerequirements, thus expanding the minimum wage requirement tocover anadditional 17% of Los Angeles hotels.

This is effectively a minimum wage raisefrom $16.04/hour to

18.86/hour forthat groupamongadditional timeoff
requirements. Thehotel worker minimum wage will adjust
annually withthe City of Los Angeles minimum wage.

While100% of hotels inthe City of LosAngeles areaffected by the HWPO measures related topanic buttons, 46% of hotels in Los Angeles (87% of allrooms) arenow alsoaffected by the square footagecleaninglimitations.

75% reportthey havealready reduced staff, services, ortaken other cost containment steps;
68% report already raisingroom rates or adding afee;
82% report already addingor considering adding anadditional feespecifically forthis ordinance.

HOTEL OPERATOR SURVEY
Insummary, hotel operators havealready been responding tothe HWPO with multiplechanges. Many ofthese changes include increasing rates orfees and/or decreasing services,
acknowledging that oneresult will befewer occupiedrooms.

IMPACT

ANALYSIS
9 IMPACT ANALYSIS
Weprepared ananalysis ofimpacts tothe City of Los Angeles ina scenario withthe HWPO as compared toanalternative scenario without HWPO.

Approach
As part ofthis analysis:
wereviewed the HWPO;
helddiscussions withfourteams of senior hotel operators in the City of Los Angeles that havebeen making operating
changes inresponsetoHWPO and that havebeen preparing
financial budgets forfutureperiods;
reviewed writtencomments andsurvey responses provided by hotel operators;
obtained hotel performance measures from STR, including historical benchmark dataonhotel payroll expenses per
occupiedroom; and,
analyzed thescopeof properties that will beaffected by the HWPO room cleaninglimitations.

Weunderstand that unionproperties may arrange a HWPO waiver inconnection withacollectivebargaining agreement. However, we assumed that over time, as existingcollectivebargaining agreements arerenegotiated, operatingcost structures at unionproperties will alsobeimpacted by HWPO, for example throughcompetition with non-unionproperties for staff. As aresult, over time HWPO is expected toresultinhigher operatingcosts for effectively all hotels inthe City of Los Angeles.

Analysis overview
Our analysis included four primary steps. We:

1. estimated hotel operating impacts ofthe HWPO;

2. estimated how occupiedroom nights andvisitor spending would changeinresponse tohigher room rates andreduced services;

3. estimated how hotel renovationactivity andnew hotel
construction wouldslow as aresult of reduced operating cash flow; and,

4. quantified theeconomic impacts of reduced visitor spendingand reduced hotel capital spending.
10 TOURISM IMPACT
Lastly, reduced spending onhotel renovations will make hotels in the City of LosAngeles lessattractivetotravelers overtime.

Withhigher ADR, butlower demand, hotel revenue is estimated toincrease by only $30.0 million. This will only cover part ofthe 110.3 millionofincreased payroll costs for hotels.

Wequantified thelost business sales, jobs andtax revenues associated withthis decrease invisitor spending.

Initially, hotels subjecttothe HWPO areexperiencing an
approximately 100% increase inhousekeeping payroll costs per occupiedroom. This is occurring, for example, as hotels pay twice thestandard ratetoroom attendants, as they hireadditional staff, andas they allocate stafftimetotracking room cleaning
limitations. Hotels subjectto HWPO accountfor 87% of hotel rooms inthe market. Because not all hotels inthe market are covered, and because weexpect operations will adapt some over time, wehaveassumed therooms department payroll cost
increaseper occupiedroom will stabilize at about 34.6% higher in 2025.

Higher payroll costs represent asignificant costincrease for hotels. Weestimate this additional cost at $14per occupiedroom night. Hotels mustfind ways toeither increaseprices, orreduce other costs, or both, tohelpcover theimpacttopayroll. Overall, weestimate total payroll costs at City of Los Angeles hotels will increaseby $110.3millionin2025.

Thefollowingdescribes key aspects of our analysis. All changes refer tochanges inthecurrent situation with HWPO relative toan alternative scenario without HWPO. Inthediscussion wehave focusedon2025as anexampleyear, as it allows timefor hotel operatingchanges andtraveler behavior toadjust.

Tourism impact
Weestimate onaverage inthe marketthat hotels will increase ADR by approximately $14.65 (6.8%) by 2025dueto HWPO
through ADR increases orthroughadded fees).

As aresult of higher ADR andreductions toservicelevels, renovations andconstruction, weexpect adecrease of demand occupiedhotel room nights) of approximately 5.0%.

Witha5.0% decrease indemand, weestimate a4.7% decrease in visitor spending, equivalent to $335.8 millionless visitor spendingin2025.

Higher ADR will discourage some travelers from stayinginthe City of Los Angeles or will causethem toreduce their lengthof stay. For example, planners for some meetings and groupevents areanticipatedtoselect other markets that offer more
competitivepricing. Sometravelers will select other destinations or choosetostay at hotels that areoutside the City of Los Angeles. Other guests may choosetoshorten their trip.

Reduced servicelevels as hotels seek tocut other costs, suchas by reducinghours at restaurants, reducingstaffing, and closingonsiteamenities, will alsoimpacttraveler choices over time. 11 TOURISM IMPACT
Weexpect ADR in2025
will increaseby 6.8%
above what ADR would
be withoutthe
ordinance.

Demand will decline

5.0% duetothehigher
rates andreduced

Room revenue will
increaseby 1.4% in2025.

This additional revenue
will address asmall

Intotal, over thefiveyear periodof analysis,
weexpect aloss of $1.4

12 HOTEL CAPITAL SPENDING IMPACT
Withsubstantially higher
payroll costs andreduced
operating cashflows, we
expect hotel owners will
look for ways todelay or
scaleback planned
renovations.

Also, ina market with
higher operating costs
andlower returns, we
expectfewer new hotels
will bedeveloped.

Overall, weestimate that
throughacombinationof
reduced renovations and
new development, hotel
capital spending inLos
Angeles over thefiveyear periodof analysis
will bereduced by $1.27
billion.

13 VISITOR SPENDING ECONOMIC IMPACT
Lost visitor spendinghas important
impacts onthelocal economy. We
estimate that aloss of $335.8 million
invisitor spending in2025 will result
intotal lost business sales of $558.1
million.

This is expected toresultin3,544
total joblosses inthe City of Los
Angeles relative toanalternative
scenario without HWPO. These
includejobs at businesses patronized
by visitors, suchas restaurants, as
well as jobs at other businesses in
thesupply chain, suchas specialized
maintenance services, advertising
andprofessional services.

Stateandlocal taxes areexpected to
be $30.0 millionlower because of
HWPO in2025, despitea $4.8
millionincrease inlodging taxes
resultingfrom higher ADR levels.

The April 12 Motion would cause a reduction of
economic activity in the City of Los Angeles.

With a proposed minimum wage of $25 an hour,
less visitor spending and less construction
spending would result in a loss of $1.9 billion of
business sales annually, resulting in 12,187 lost
jobs in the broader City of Los Angeles
economy, and $138 million of lost state and
local tax revenue.

This includes losses such as fewer construction
jobs, fewer restaurant, retail and arts and

7 Key Findings
Workers across a range of sectors in Los Angeles will
realize lost wages as a result of the April 12 Motion.

The losses range from $714 million annually to $1.7
billion across the three April 12 Motion scenarios.

Negatively impacted workers include (not limited to):

Construction
Restaurants
Retail
Transportation
Maintenance
Arts and recreation
With reductions in visitor spending and hotel
construction, state and local tax revenue would be
reduced between $138 million and $400 million
annually.

Lost tax revenue must be made up by higher tax rates
on businesses and households, or reduced government
services.

10 The combined hotel and airport economic impact shows the result of:

Hotel: Lost visitor spending and lost hotel construction renovation and new construction)
Airport: Lost visitor spending associated with airline/ service provider labor cost increases
In this analysis, these impacts are additive. The hotel and airport impacts are the result of higher wage and health care costs.

The economic impact is quantified in terms of direct effects, and total effects.

Direct effects refer to the first-round impacts, consisting of the reduction in visitor spending and hotel construction spending.

Total effects refer to the direct effects, plus the downstream or multiplier effects that happen in the local economy as a result of the direct effect reduction. For example, this includes supply chain effects as restaurants purchase fewer inputs from wholesalers, and as employees supported by visitor spending have less wages and salaries to spend at local businesses.

Economic Impact Approach
Our analysis of theeconomic impact ofthe April 12 Motioninthe City of Los Angeles begins with actual spending by visitors but also considers the downstream effects ofthis injection of spending into the local economy. To determine the total economic impactin Los Angeles, weinput visitor spending into a model created in IMPLAN. The model calculates threedistinct types of impact: direct, indirect, and induced.

The impacts on business sales, jobs, wages, and taxes are calculated for all three levels ofimpact.

1. Direct Impacts: Visitors create direct economic value within adiscreet group of sectors (e.g., recreation, transportation). This supports arelative proportion ofjobs, wages, taxes, and GDP within each sector.

2. Indirect Impacts: Each directly affected sector also purchases goods and services as inputs e.g., food wholesalers, utilities) into production. These impacts arecalled indirect impacts.

3. Induced Impacts: Lastly, the induced impact is generated when employees whose wages are generated either directly or indirectly by visitors spend those wages in the local economy.

IMPLAN is particularly effective because it calculates these threelevels ofimpact – direct, indirect, and induced – for a broad set ofindicators. These include thefollowing:

12 considered previous research on visitor spending and visitor behavior in response to price changes;
gathered data on airport passenger activity at LAX; and, prepared a customized IMPLAN input-output model to quantify changes in visitor spending and hotel construction. This model incorporates industry data on employment, wages, and sales from the U.S. Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In preparing our estimates of impacts in the various scenarios, we focused on annualized impacts relative to the baseline scenario. These are estimates of impacts that may take several years to reach stabilization, allowing time for operators to institute changes and for visitor behavior to respond.

This research is based on data we gathered, our discussions with local hotel operators, and airline / service provider operators at Los Angeles International Airport, our understanding of the hotel and airline sectors, and our customized economic impact models.

As part of our research, we:
obtained hotel operating statistics from STR/ Costar, the leading provider of hotel statistics;
researched minimum wage research by academic researchers and think tank organizations;
prepared economic models to help quantify changes in hotel and airport operations;
conducted telephone interviews with multiple hotel operators, a major airline, and a major airline service provider to gain an understanding of how operators would respond to wage increases, and some of the factors involved;
considered previous research we have done on the HWPO for the California Lodging Association;

Motion3 April 12
14 On April 12, 2023, the Los Angeles City Council moved for a new draft of amendments ( April 12 Motion) to the Living Wage Ordinance ( LWO) and the Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance ( LA HWMO).

April 12 Motion
The following provisions would apply directly to the LWO and HWPO specifically regarding airport and hotel workers.

Raise the hourly minimum wage to $25 in 2023, and by $1 every year thereafter, to reach $30 an hour by 2028. This is a 39% increase to airport workers under the LWO and a 33% increase for hotel workers under the HWPO.

Adjust the health care credit to meet the average cost of healthcare coverage, add minimum health benefit requirements including family coverage, and require transparency around health care payments.

15 Ordinance Summary
The Living Wage Ordinance (LWO)
The LWO currently requires airport employers to pay workers $18.04 an hour at a minimum, which is above the city minimum wage at

16.04 per hour.

The LWO currently requires airport employers to pay workers an additional health wage minimum of $5.77 per hour if they don’t offer health insurance.

The Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance (HWPO)
The HWPO currently requires a minimum of $18.86 per hour for hotel workers (hotels with 60 rooms or more).

Amended the previous minimum wage scope to hotels with 60 rooms or more (previously 150+ rooms) which expanded to an additional 17% of Los Angeles hotels.

If a room attendant cleans more than 3,500 square feet in a day (60 room hotel or more) their pay rate doubles for the whole day.

The Responsible Hotel Ordinance – Was not passed by city council but is on the 2024 voting ballot.

Voucher program would allow the otherwise unhoused to book vacant rooms.

New hotel development that demolishes or converts existing housing requires projects to include new affordable housing on a one-to-one basis.

Unprecedented annual permitting process via the appointed Police Commission.

Operations4 Impact to Hotel
17 Ordinance & Hotel Summary
The Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance (HWPO)
The HWPO contains several provisions. Of these, the most significant impact to hotel operations results from workload limitations for room attendants that restrict the amount of space they are permitted to clean each day at standard pay.

Overall, as a result of HWPO, hotels are experiencing an approximate doubling of housekeeping labor costs (room
attendants and managers).

April 12 Motion
The motion stipulates an increase in the minimum wage for hotel workers from $18.86 to $25 per hour.
18 Impact to hotel operations
Housekeeping
Hotels have very limited ability to respond to increased housekeeping costs through cost savings measures within housekeeping. As a result, hotels must either attempt to pass on cost increases to customers or find other operational changes.

Food and beverage
Food and beverage operations such as restaurants and room service have very low, if any, profitability for hotels. With HWPO and the April 12 Motion, hotels are expected to reduce hours, close outlets, eliminate room service and reduce positions.

Hotels will also reduce menu selections and raise prices. For example, one operator will consider closing the restaurant and offering a bar menu with five items, including a $45 hamburger.

Banquet and catering are important to hotels’ ability to attract group business, such as business events. Higher wage costs are expected to make Los Angeles hotels some of the most expensive places to hold a business event. Many business events have a choice of destinations and will shift business to other markets.

The April 12 Motion does not have an exemption or lower rate for tipped employees like many union hotels have in their collective bargaining agreements. Tipped employees will make more than other hotel employees, resulting in stark differences between positions.

Overall impacts to operations
Payroll costs are already the highest operating cost of hotels . For example, total payroll costs per occupied room at a custom set of hotels considered in this analysis reached $120, representing 56% of total operating expenses per occupied room of $215 (expenses before gross operating profit).

An increased minimum wage affects not only employees currently earning at or near the minimum wage, it also requires increases in other positions to help maintain premiums for positions with greater responsibility. For example, the wage for a lead role with a $3 to $5 premium, must also be increased. This increases the overall cost of minimum wage increases.

Analysis assumes health care expansion equivalent to a 30% increase in payroll costs, on average.

RHO analysis assumes a large city program with prevalent use of housing stay vouchers across a large range of hotel properties with little ability for hotels to manage negative impact on perceptions of potential travelers, particularly leisure and group.

In response to higher costs, we anticipate hotels will:

Reduce staff hours and positions by reducing F&B and other hotel services and reducing non-essential maintenance and upkeep.

Reduce funding and devotion of staff time to community involvement.

Increase room rates, charge additional fees, raise menu and catering pricing. Experience a decline in demand from guests, resulting in fewer occupied guest rooms (particularly leisure and group).
19 Impact to hotel operations
Impacts to renovations
Hotels will have significantly reduced funds for renovations, and hotel owners will have reduced interest in investing in the upkeep of Los Angeles hotels and valuation decline due to increased costs.

Examples from hotel operators include plans to delay renovations and plans to cancel projects for expanding new space that would have supported new jobs (e.g., adding a bar in unused space).

Impacts to new construction
New construction of hotels will slow significantly. The profitability of the market will be substantially reduced, making it difficult to justify new investment.

Also, the market gains a reputation for unpredictable negative policies, further discouraging new investment.

Reduced new construction means a loss of construction activity as well as a loss of the jobs and tax revenue supported by additional visitors.

21 Historical Rooms Payroll Increase
City of Los Angeles, CA
In additional to demand and ADR that is below pre-pandemic levels, hotels have experienced strong increases in payroll costs.

Rooms department payroll, which includes housekeeping, as well as staff such as front desk, guest relations, and reservations, has increased to $55.47 per occupied room during the most seven-month period since enactment of the HWPO in August 2022. This represents a 92% increase relative to the six-month period ending September 2021. Part of this increase reflects steps by hotels to restore staffing levels post-pandemic, but it also reflects the impacts of tight labor markets and the HWPO.

Total payroll per occupied room increased to almost $120 in the seven-month period ending March 2023. This includes all hotel staff.

22 Los Angeles is estimated to lose $293 million of
visitor spending annually from the already
enacted HWPO.

With a $25 minimum wage and increased health
care, this loss increases to $750 million per year.

With the increased minimum wage in the April 12 Motion ($ 25/ hr) scenario, we expect hotels will realize an increase to payroll costs of 339.0 million, even after reducing hours and staffing. Hotels will be forced to raise ADR, causing a -15% loss in demand relative to the LWO only, and only generating an additional $ 21.5 million of room revenue, contributing toreduced profits/increased losses.

Decreased demand (occupied rooms) will resultinaloss of $750 millionof visitor spending on an annual basis.

25 Ordinance & Airport Summary
April 12 Motion
The motion stipulates an increase in the minimum wage for airport workers from $18.06 to $25 per hour.

The motion also includes adjustments to the health care credit to meet the average cost of healthcare coverage, add minimum health benefit requirements including family coverage, and require transparency around health care payments.

Living Wage Ordinance ( LWO) - Airport Employees:

There are multiple categories of stakeholders affected by the ordinance at LAX.

Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA): Operating airport
Airlines: Operating flights
Service providers: Providing services to airlines, such as baggage handling, cleaning planes, wheelchair service
Concessionaires: operating airport concessions
Our analysis focuses on:

Airlines and service providers combined
We did not include LAWA staff costs in the analysis as we do not yet have clear understanding of the potential impact of the Motion.

LAWA has a budgeted FY2023 headcount of 3,584 full and part-time positions, with annual personnel costs of $497.5 million. Of these, approximately 2,000 are in operations and maintenance, or public safety and security.
26 Ordinance Scenarios: Airline/Service Providers
Airline/ service providers
Airlines rely on direct airline staff and staff of service providers to operate at LAX.

Both the airlines and the service providers have experienced the impact of previous cost increases and tight labor market conditions and have worked extensively to find efficiencies and limit cost increases. As a result, there is very little flexibility to absorb further cost increases without passing the full cost on to passengers.

With previous labor cost increases, airlines and service providers have looked for ways to reduce the staff positions assigned to each flight. For example, to reduce costs, an airline and service provider may decide to eliminate 16 labor hours associated with the process to turn a flight (deplane passengers, ready plan for departure, enplane passengers). This would be accomplished by cutting four positions with four hours each.

Eventually there is a limit to this type of cost management, for example, as further reductions place a greater burden on remaining staff, and result in planes that are less clean.

In scenarios with the April 12 Motion, we expect airlines and service providers will attempt to pass on a large portion of cost increase to passengers and will make further reductions in staffing and service levels.
27 Impact to Airline/Service Providers
In the April 12 Motion ($25/hr)
scenario, we expect 1.3 million fewer
passengers than the LWO scenario.

Withthe increased minimum wage inthe April 12
Motion ($25/hr) scenario, and the shift toexpanded
health care, we expect a $10.04 inlabor costs per
enplaned passenger for airlineand service providers
combined. This is expected toresult inthe loss of 1.3
million passengers relative tothe LWO. The increase
inlabor costs represents an increase of 34.8% relative
tothe LWO, representing $342.8 millionof additional
costs.

We anticipate the decline inpassenger volumeand
staff reductions per flight will result airlineand service provider job losses that will offset apart ofthe labor
cost increase.

28 Impact to Airline/Service Providers
In the April 12 Motion ($25/hr)
scenario, we expect a loss of $95.8
million of visitor spending relative to
the LWO scenario.

Withthe increased minimum wage inthe April 12
Motion ($25/hr) scenario, and the shift toexpanded
health care, we expect higher fares and reduced
service levels will resultin approximately 671,000
fewer passenger enplanements annually. This will
resultin the loss of approximately 131,000 annual
overnight visitors tothe City of Los Angeles,
representing $95.8 millionof lost visitor spending.

29 Ordinance Scenarios: Concessionaires
Concessionaires
LAWA reported gross concession revenue of $366.3 million during FY2022, including significant amounts of in-terminal revenue, such as duty free, food and beverage, and advertising; as well as off-terminal revenue, such as auto parking and rent-a-car.

We did not specifically analyze the impact of the April 12 Measure on labor costs and operations across these categories of concessions, due to the tight timeline on this analysis.

Based on our understanding of operations such as airport concession F&B, we would anticipate that the April 12 Measure would represent a significant increase in operating cost that would cause most operators to institute significant price increases, reduce hours, reducing staffing and close outlets. The result would include fewer staff positions, fewer staff hours, increased costs for passengers, and decreased passenger satisfaction with the airport. Ultimately, we expect this would result in some reduction in passenger volumes.

Benefits6 Net Impact to Wages and
31 We estimated the impacts to wages and benefits on a net basis as well. We started with the lost wages and benefits as a result of lost visitor sales and hotel construction, and we added the increased wages and benefits at hotels and the airport, including induced, downstream, effects. The net result is shown in the last row. This shows:

In the LWO and HWPO scenario, there is a net reduction to wages and benefits of $222.8 million;
In the April 12 Motion ($25/ hr) scenario, the increase to hotel and airport wages and benefits is narrowly greater than the loss in visitor spending and hotel construction, resulting in a net increase of $8.5 million; and, In the April 12 Motion ($30/hr) scenario, the increase to hotel and airport wages and benefits is greater than the loss in visitor spending and hotel construction, resulting in a net increase of $104.9 million; and, In the April 12 Motion ($30/hr) and RHO scenario, there is a net reduction to wages and benefits of $1.1 billion.

In each of these scenarios, we anticipate some hotel and airport workers will lose hours and others will lose their job, with higher wages earned by certain remaining employees. The increase of wages and benefits will accrue to certain remaining workers at hotels and the airport, while the losses will affect certain other hotel and airport employees, and across a range of sectors, including jobs in construction, as well as F&B, and downstream services such as maintenance and wholesale distribution.

Point7 Minimum Wage Tipping
33 Minimum Wage Tipping Point
In many situations, researchers examining the impact of minimum wage increases are looking at situations with either small changes to a minimum wage, or a large change that still results in a wage that is low relative to other wages.

That such studies do not generally find strong indication of large negative employment effects does provide good guidance for a situation in which the wage increase is large, and results in a wage that is at a level well above more typical entry-level wages.

In the economic literature, there has been evidence that large hikes that cross a tipping point threshold from low minimum wage -to-median earnings to high minimum wage-to-median earnings cause significant declines in employment among low-income workers.

Thus, while the employment impact of minimum wage increases is debated, there is a foundation of evidence to suggest that large increases in the minimum wage, particularly above a certain threshold value, can lead to notable declines in employment among the most vulnerable workers.

Research examples
The 1966 amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which raised the national minimum wage 28% to $13.54 per hour in 2022 dollars and extended coverage to an additional 9.1 million workers, was found to significantly lower employment rates in certain subgroups, such as African-American men, who experienced a sharp and significant decline in employment during the year and annual hours worked.

During the 41% Federal minimum wage hike between July 23, 2007 and July 24, 2009 from $5.15 to $7.25, employment among low-wage workers fell. In addition, this increase led to a reduction in upward mobility among low-skilled workers by limiting their access to opportunities for accumulating work experience.

France has been plagued by high unemployment, and high youth unemployment in particular, a feature often attributed to the relatively high minimum wage. In France, the minimum wage is relatively high –

11.52 euros per hour as of May 1, 2023 or about $12.63 per hour. The 2019 French minimum wage increase in 2019 directly affected 13.4% of workers. Comparatively, in the U.S. approximately 1.1% of workers were at or below the Federal minimum wage in 2019.
34 Minimum Wage Tipping Point (continued)
In Denmark, when workers turn 18, they become eligible for the adult rate approximately a 40% increase to a level comparable to a $15 minimum wage. This rise in the wage requirement has been found to cause a 33% drop in the employment rate and a 45% fall in hours worked for those impacted.

Significant increases in minimum wages have also been found to impact growth in the number of business establishments. Following Hungary’s minimum wage increase in 2001 from 35% of median earnings to 50%, an estimated 30,000 minimum wage workers lost their jobs (10.3% of total minimum wage workers) as firms substituted labor with capital. Not only did contemporaneous employment decline as a result of this minimum wage hike, but employment growth at the firms most affected by the minimum wage hike declined in future periods.
