<br />10. COUNCILOR EXPENSES
<br />10.01 General Guidelines for Reimbursed Expenses
<br />Under the provisions of the City Charter, the City may pay councilor or the mayor expenses that
<br />are directly related to City business. It is each councilor's and the mayor's responsibility to
<br />determine if expenses are actually City-related. If there are questions about the propriety of such
<br />expenditures, the Manager shall first review the issue with the councilor. If the City Manager
<br />and the councilor cannot resolve the issue, the Manager shall discuss the matter with the Mayor.
<br />Receipts should be secured for any expenses and should accompany Council expense report
<br />forms to record mileage and other expenses. The forms shall be available from the City
<br />Manager's Office.
<br />
<br />Activities that support or oppose a political campaign shall not be reimbursable.
