Resolution 6675 Amending Personnel Policy in Regard to Educational 31 <br />Reimbursement Amounts 32 <br /> 33 <br />Councilmember Stigney noted the request is to go from a $750 allowable reimbursement expense 34 <br />to $1,200, a $400 increase. He stated he believes it would be more prudent to increase it to 35 <br />$1,000. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Mayor Marty asked staff to correct a typo in the resolution, the last sentence under Section D, to 38 <br />indicate: “The City Council may grant an exception on the $1,200 limit on a case-by-case basis.” 39 <br /> 40 <br />Councilmember Thomas stated she understands Councilmember Stigney’s concerns but is also 41 <br />aware of the cost of higher education. She noted the goal is to have staff do a better job for the 42 <br />City and $750 does not accurately reflect the cost of higher education. She noted that even at 43 <br />$1,200 it is only half of the cost. 44 <br /> 45
