The Portland City Council has voted to end a state of emergency imposed because of the pandemic.

The local emergency declaration would end July 29, terminating the additional powers granted to the city manager during the pandemic that were used to restrict public gatherings and impose curfews.

It would have meant an end to the city’s extra hazard pay for minimum-wage workers, but the state supreme court ruled this month that the provision does not go into effect until 2020. Nonetheless, some employers went ahead and paid the hazard pay, which was $18.23 an hour, compared to the statewide $12.15 minimum wage.

The decision to end the state of emergency paves the way for the City Council to resume in-person meetings.
