complaint. If the complaint is found to be unsubstantiated, the fee will be retained
by the City to cover administrative costs of the investigation and audit process.
The City may, at its discretion, waive the fee in cases where an employee of the
Contractor or Sub -contractor working on the construction project issues the
complaint.

permitted access to these records upon its receipt of a Registered Complaint of
