fiscal year (irrespective of quarter), based on a "2 for 1" usage ratio, up to a maximum
of 80 -hours for each cash out. For example, if an employee uses 10 hours of Vacation
Leave, the employee could cash out up to 20 hours of Vacation Leave; in order for an
employee to cash -out the maximum of 80 -hours Vacation Leave, the employee would
need to use 40 hours of Vacation Leave.
All employees who are at the Maximum Accrual Level or who may reach the
Maximum Accrual Level shall utilize the "Cash -Out" and/or "Vacation Leave" options so
as to NOT exceed the Vacation Accrual Ceiling. Other than exceptions granted based
upon City and/or Departmental needs as approved by both the Department Director

SECTION 7. Pursuant to the Executive Professional Development
Reimbursement Program, the City agrees to reimburse Division Managers up to $1,000
per fiscal year for activities, materials, equipment or fees that will aid in their individual
professional development. 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. 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
Resolution No. 17-26 Page 4 of 6
• Membership dues in community organizations relevant to the executive's job
assignment
• Purchase of job-related professional journals, periodicals, books or other
written materials which further knowledge or improvement of effectiveness in
performance of duties
• Education fees that exceed the City's annual $1,250 tuition reimbursement
limit
• 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
been incurred during the fiscal year for the executive employee only. 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 to 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 8. 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.
SECTION 9. All resolutions and parts of resolutions in conflict herewith are
hereby rescinded.
