Reimbursement Program, the City agrees to reimburse Division Managers up to $1,300
per fiscal year for activities, materials, equipment or fees that will aid in their individual
professional development or support employee wellness, mental and physical health. The
intent of this program is to encourage and recognize executive staff for pursuing
educational, professional or community -oriented activities, enhancing job skills and
expertise, and/or purchasing materials/equipment, which improve the executive's
performance and well-being. These activities, materials, equipment or fees are intended
to be beyond what is budgeted for individuals through the annual budget cycle. The
reimbursement options available include the following:
• Professional memberships, licenses and certificates that are job -related
• Professional conferences that are job -related including fees and other
expenses while attending
• Membership dues in community organizations relevant to the executive's job
assignment
• Purchase of job -related professional journals, periodicals, books or other

mental and physical health
• Direct purchase of qualifying computer equipment defined in Administrative
Regulation 2.29
The Department Director and Assistant City Manager must approve participation
in the activities and/or purchase of the materials/equipment in advance. Claims for
reimbursement must be accompanied by documentation that an eligible expense has
Resolution No. 2024-49 Page 11 of 13

program. Any portion of the reimbursement amount not incurred within the fiscal year
shall remain City funds unless prior approval has been received by the City Manager.
Requests to carry forward unencumbered amounts to the next fiscal year must receive
approval by the City Manager prior to the end of the fiscal year. All payments will be in
the form of reimbursement and no executive employee will directly receive cash for this
benefit. Reimbursements, which are subject to taxation, will be processed through the
payroll system. The Finance Department shall administer this program in accordance with
the stated purpose and will provide the appropriate forms and procedures. This
reimbursement program does not prohibit individual departments from continuing to
budget funds for executive staff attendance at professional conferences and seminars,
for the payment of professional membership dues, and/or for the purchase of books,
journals and written materials that are job -related and will enhance an executive's
knowledge or expertise.
SECTION 11. The 401(a) deferred compensation plan provides executives with
another tax -deferred savings plan for future financial planning. The City will provide a
0.5% per pay period employer contribution for any executive whose management group
elects to participate in the 401(a) plan. The employer contribution will be reflected in that
executive's annual total compensation calculation. However, the City will not provide an
employer contribution to the current 457 deferred compensation plan and the executive
must make all 457 contributions.
