6. REQUEST the City Attorney to preparee and present an Ordinance to amend the Minimum Wage Ordinance (Ordinance No. 183612) as follows:
   
   
   1. Add a definition of wage that clarifies that wages are defined by State Labor Code and include piece rates, commissions, etc.
      
      
   2. Change  the announcement date of the annual increase to February 1 to allow the increase to be based on the CPI for the full previous calendar year.
      
      
   3. Remove the term Learners to avoid confusion with the state definition which includes a broader age range; deleting this term will effectuate the City Council’s intent, which was to allow 14-17 year-old Employees to receive not less than 85 percent of the minimum wage rounded to the nearest nickel during their first 160 hours of employment.
      
      
   4. Add an exemption for employees holding transitional jobs, as directed by the City Council.

   7. Clarify that if a non-profit organization (that was previously approved as qualifying for the deferred wage rate) loses its non-profit status, it must comply with the appropriate wage schedule as determined by its size.
      
      
7. REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present an Ordinance to amend the Wage Enforcement Division Ordinance (Ordinance No. 183613) as follows:
   
   
   1. Change the name of the Wage Enforcement Division to the Office of Wage Standards.
      
      
   2. Add language that requires Employers to notify existing employees of the minimum wage to ensure that all employees are informed.
      
      
   3. Clarify that the City shall have access to all business sites and may interview any relevant witnesses.
      
      
   4. Change Notice of Determination to Notice of Correction.
      
      
   5. Change procedures for service of a Notice of Correction to personal service or registered mail so that the City can document that an Employer received the notice.
      
      
   6. Add language that establishes a mechanism for settlement discussions that will enable issues to be resolved more expediently and before a formal hearing process.
      
      
   7. Change the penalty due to an Employee from $100 for each day to up to $120 for each day and establish criteria including the extent of harm caused by the violation, the nature and persistence of the violation, the length of time over which the violation occurs, the frequency of past violations, actions taken to mitigate the violation, and the financial burden to the violator.        
      
      
   8. Remove interest an Employer must pay on unpaid wages and penalties. This will remove a time consuming administrative aspect that will delay collection.
      
      
   9. Add  a penalty of up to $50 per day that is payable from an Employer to the City when wages have been withheld from an Employee.
      
      
8. REQUEST the City Attorney to add language, where applicable in the above two Ordinances, to enable the City Attorney to assist employees in collecting unpaid wages by filing civil actions on their behalf.
   
   
9. AUTHORIZE the City Attorney to clean up the language to effectuate the amendments.
