Any request for public incentives demands careful consideration to ensure it meets our public goals and provides sufficient benefits. City Council discretion will still needed, even under a revised economic incentive policy, which is why it is important that such cases continue to come to Council for approval. That said, I will equally consider the merits of proposals that could incentivize jobs for both small and large operators. In cases requiring employment of the hard-to-employ, I will ensure that the contract or agreement includes a monitoring provision with regular reports to City Council and that failure to demonstrate compliance will terminate the agreement, with incentives to be repaid through a claw-back provision.
