The Flagstaff City Council proposes to ratify a previous City Council's instruction/action given by a previous City Council to the City Attorney. The City Attorney was instructed in executive session held on May 25, 2021, to file a complaint and motion for preliminary injunction against the State Department of Administration (and others) seeking to declare the minimum wage assessment by the State of Arizona in the amount of $1,110,992 unconstitutional under the Voter Protection Act, among other claims. 

A detailed written description of the instruction/action to be ratified, and deliberations, consultations and decisions by the City Council that preceded and related to the instruction/action that was taken, is attached hereto and posted at City Hall. The complaint and motion are also attached.

Funds for litigation are budgeted annually by the City Council and were also budgeted in previous years. 

Protect the Flagstaff minimum wage ordinance.

See executive summary above.
