A motion was made by Councilmember Ricks-Oddie, seconded by Councilmember Uranga, to approve recommendation, as amended, that: [1] a minimum wage floor of 110% of the state’s established minimum wage is set for all workers, making no distinction in the wage scale between part-time and full-time workers. Furthermore, at least 80% of the workforce of any entity should be paid at a rate of 115% of the state’s minimum wage; [2] compliance with these wage standards is a prerequisite for businesses to be eligible for proposed tax relief benefits. The timeline for reaching full compliance is at the discretion of each entity, acknowledging the diverse capacities and starting points of different businesses; [3] recognition that not all entities will meet these standards simultaneously. Some may qualify immediately, while others will require time to bring their wage structures into compliance; [4] a requirement that at least 40% of the workforce of any entity should be locally hired. This measure aims to support local employment and community development; [5] request staff to implement a one-year review period post-implementation of this program. During this period, staff shall track compliance, the impact of these measures, and any industry recommendations not included in this motion. This review will help assess the need for any revisions or adjustments to the ordinance; [6] request staff to provide clarity on the requirement for entities to be up to date with city taxes as part of their eligibility for the aforementioned tax relief and minimum wage adjustments.
