Speaker 0: All right. So three in favor, one opposed and one abstention. Motion carries nine f. This is my referral. It's to consider directing staff to review and action a minimum wage increase in Alameda. I brought this because I know other cities have addressed this already. I know that we have people here in Alameda that are actually driving through neighboring cities for a higher minimum wage. And I think it's worthy of having a substantive council discussion and review it and enacting a minimum wage. So I'd like to move that. We do this for a second. I think this is one that really belongs on a priority setting workshop. Because this is going to take some staff time to do the the underlying. Research and comparisons. Member Daisuke.
Speaker 2: I just want to offer my comment on this is the concern that I want to raise is with. Small mom and pop shopkeepers, though that would be a concern. Howsoever you. The city pursues that minimum wage increase. I just want to include that as part of the discussion.
Speaker 0: I think other cities have looked at that number already.
Speaker 3: I think this is a good thing to have on the priority setting workshop to have a more fuller discussion on it at that time. But I think if you look at what like the mayor said, other cities, especially San Leandro, a city close in size to us that just accelerated their minimum wage from the $15 that the state enacted. You know, might be a model for us to look at as we bring this forward in the future.
Speaker 0: And I just want to note that I did bring this referral back on July 19th. So it'll be close to, I think, six months before we look at it anyway. But so I made a motion. I, you know, I'm happy to look at it in regards to the priorities set in conference in regards to that point. But at this point, I think it's critical that we decide whether or not we're even going to ask staff to look at this.
Speaker 1: That's the purpose of referral, is.
Speaker 0: Did I just understand you did indicate you'd be willing to add this to a priority? I think all of these things are coming back. So I think you and I have a different opinion of what the priority setting is.
Speaker 6: To your motion. Thank you. Having said.
Speaker 0: All those in favor.
Speaker 1: I.
Speaker 0: Oppose same. Where were you? But you were fought for in favor. One oppose motion carries. Thank you. Nine G Consider updated regulation and potential taxation of commercial cannabis activities. So this is.
