The present salaries were adopted in June, 1989. Benefits provided to Councilmembers are set by City Resolution (Resolution No. 89-493), and include: • Health coverage, including dependent coverage, the full premium of which is paid by the City, • Limited retirement health insurance for eligible members of the Public Employees Retirement System, • Dental Insurance, • Life Insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and • Retirement as optional members of the Public Employees Retirement System. Changes to salaries shall be in accordance with State law, and changes to benefits shall be made by resolution, at the request of the Council. F Reimbursement Policy and Procedures 1. Policy Councilmembers shall be reimbursed for legitimate expenses incurred on City business, including attendance at approved training seminars and conferences, in accordance with existing policies as set forth in the City's reimbursement policy for conferences, meetings, and travel, included as Appendix B. The Council's annual budget includes normal anticipated business expenses such as mileage reimbursement, meal expense, telephone charges and conference registration and lodging. Historically, these expenses have been insignificant. Each Councilmember is responsible for determining a reasonable level of expenses within the Council budget. However, any Councilmember anticipating an extraordinary expense beyond those described above, should notify the City Manager, who shall in turn notify the other Councilmembers. Council may then determine whether the annual budget supports the anticipated expense. 24 i
