It is the purpose of this chapter to assure that when the city provides incentives to private parties or entities to support development within the city, those private parties or entities fully comply with state and federal payroll and wage and hour laws, thereby ensuring that workers receive proper compensation for their work. Where there are violations of those state and federal wage and payroll laws on city supported developments, this chapter obligates any parties involved in the development who know, are aware, or should be aware of violations report them to the city in a timely manner. This chapter also puts parties or entities that receive development incentives from the city on notice that if they or their subcontractors violate wage or payroll laws, the city intends to recoup its investment to the extent allowed under the laws and regulations governing those city-sponsored incentives.
