Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by adding Chapter 16.60, relating to the payment of living wage to workers at the Long Beach Airport and the Long Beach Convention Center, read and adopted as read.  (Citywide)
M23 is a report from the city attorney with the recommendation to declare an ordinance amending the municipal code relating to the payment of living wage to workers at the Long Beach Airport and the Long Beach Convention Center. It read the first time and laid over to the next regular meeting of the City Council for Final Reading. But I hear emotions moving second. Mr. Barton. Mayor, members of the council. This ordinance is being brought back to you for first reading. At the last council meeting we were requested to change the ordinance that was before you to include retail or retail portion of the ordinance. We have done that and that is the. Motion before you today. Can you more thoroughly explain what this does for everyone involved? Yes, Mayor. And members of the council, the the at the request of the city council, we were asked to prepare a living wage ordinance that would be in effect for future contracts at both the airport and at the convention center. That would follow the same guidelines as the measure in which adopted the living wage for hotel workers, for hotels, over 100 units. We had just I did have a question by someone who was looking at a restaurant, the restaurant pre security at the airport, maybe in it may be renovated or potential change of operators. Would this measure, if it's adopted, apply to that change? I think the answer. If the contract is amended or we enter into a new contract, then yes, this ordinance would apply to that facility. That is correct. Okay. So I want to make that clear. And remember, the public was just council on this issue. Please come forward. Okay. Mr. Mayor, we're on 23, correct? Correct. Yeah. Sorry. Okay. Any council discussion? All right, members, cast your vote. Motion carries seven votes. Yes. One vote no. Thank you, members. Good item ten. CLERK three.
