(Citywide)
A motion was made by Councilwoman Saro, seconded by Councilmember Uranga, to approve recommendation, as amended, to [1] amend the ordinance to reflect that Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments are paused during the Option C wage increases between July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2029; after July 1, 2029, the CPI increases will resume annually as outlined in Measure N; [2] add that it is the intent of the voters to ensure after July 1, 2029, that hotel workers receive CPI adjustments annually; however, if the City Council amends the ordinance to increase the wages of hotel workers, a CPI adjustment cannot be applied simultaneously with another wage increase; if CPI and another wage increase, like the increases in Option C, exist simultaneously in the ordinance, only the greater wage increase of the two applies at one time; and [3] modify the proposed threshold allowing the City Council to make future amendments to this wage ordinance from a 2/3rd vote to a simple majority vote.
