Pasadena Minmum Wage

At the State of the City address, Mayor Terry Tornek announced that minimum wage increases would come to the City Council on February 1, 2016.

We are not sure if a decision is anticipated at that time, but anyone with contact with a Pasadena City Council member should take time to communicate with that person.
