The Committee on Committees and Rules approved two corrections to the City Council journal of proceedings for October 26, 2022 and March 15, 2023. It also recommended re-referring an ordinance amending the minimum wage for tipped occupations to the Committee on Workforce Development, with the chair saying discussion of the ordinance belongs in that committee. Four public commenters spoke on the tipped wage ordinance: a hospitality trade group representative asked for slower implementation for small employers and extended outdoor dining, while a worker organizer, a resident and a restaurant owner urged passage.
