9 <br /> <br />feedback received and a recommended policy framework for drafting a local minimum <br />wage ordinance. If a minimum wage ordinance is approved the City Council in the <br />spring, implementation (including education of employers and establishment of <br />enforcement mechanisms) would take place over approximately six to eight months. <br />This would allow the ordinance to take effect on January 1, 2019. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />· Take no action at the local level with Redwood City employers adhering to the <br />State’s phased-in minimum wage schedule, which will reach $15.00 an hour by <br />2022. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Increasing the minimum wage to $15.00 as required by the State or through a potential <br />local ordinance would have a minimum estimated cost impact to the City of <br />approximately $122,000. However, the total fiscal impact is unknown at this time; any <br />wage increase would necessitate changes to the City’s salary structure beyond <br />employees at the minimum wage level and costs of administration and enforcement of a <br />new minimum wage ordinance have not been determined. <br /> <br />Staff estimates expending $4,000-$10,000 to design, print and mail postcards to every <br />business in Redwood City and to translate outreach materials into Spanish and <br />Chinese. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, Section <br />15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or a foreseeable <br />physical change in the environment. <br /> <br />Attachment A - Bay Area Ordinances <br />Attachment B - Map of Geographical Job Concentrations <br />Attachment C - Wage Study Summary Analysis <br />Attachment D - Wage Study Full Version <br />Attachment E - Minimum Wage Work Plan <br />Attachment F - Draft Minimum Wage Business Survey Questions <br /> <br />ALEX KHOJIKIAN <br />DEPUTY CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> <br />MELISSA STEVENSON DIAZ <br />CITY MANAGER <br />8.A. - Page 9
