A proposed increase in Evanston’s minimum wage requirement was dropped after failing to garner support for annual increases.

Reid proposed the ordinance to raise the city’s minimum wage to $15.50 for businesses with four to 99 employees and $16.25 for businesses with 100 or more employees along with an amendment to add back a provision that would add an ANNUAL? increase of 2.5% or match the area CPI, whichever is lower. Councilmember Bobby Burns was the lone supporter of adding back the increase provision, saying the city should fall in line with other entities that have similar increases such as Chicago.
