G.15 Approve Amendment to the Personnel Policy for Meal Reimbursement The city's Personnel Policy contains maximum reimbursement levels for meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) when an employee's duties keep them away from their home and the corporate limits of the city during normal meal hours. The reimbursement levels stated in the Personnel Policy have not been adjusted since 2011. Staff is recommending that the Personnel Policy be changed to state that reimbursement levels will reflect the per diem meal reimbursement rates set forth annually by the U.S. General Services Administration for the corresponding destination city/county and that rates for Minneapolis and St. Paul/Hennepin and Ramsey be included yearly in the salary resolution. G.16 Approve Amendment to the Personnel Policy for Fire Department Conference Pay As a way to encourage attendance at recognized Fire and EMS organization sponsored conferences, the Fire Chief is recommending that current members of the department be compensated for the conferences that they attend. The Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association, Arrowhead Fire Officers, Duluth Fire Officers, Arrowhead EMS, and Regional State Fire are examples of organizations that sponsor conferences that help keep the department informed of the most recent advances in firefighting and medical techniques, as well as allow members to make important connections with other departments. Fire Chief, Kevin Colvard is recommending that each firefighter be paid $125 per day (or a pro -rated portion thereof for less than a full day) for attendance at approved conferences.
