Flagstaff city staff have come up with what they think is a way around a $12 minimum wage taking effect July 1.

Instead, if six out of seven members of the City Council agree Tuesday night, the new minimum would be $10.50 on July 1 and not reach $12 until Jan. 1, 2019.

Five members have indicated they support changing Prop. 414, which was passed by voters in November and eventually sets the minimum at $15 an hour by 2021.

The sixth vote needs to come from either council veteran Scott Overton or newcomer Charlie Odegaard.
