WORKSHOP SESSION:
Adoption of Travel and Reimbursement Policy - City Council
The Acting City Manager provided background on this item, indicating that this item was
necessitated by Assembly Bill 1234, which puts some definitions and requirements on
reimbursement for travel by elected and appointed officials for the City. The proposed
policy was prepared by the City Attorney's Office, using general guidelines of AB 1234
and the Institute of Local Government's recommendations. He stated that one change
from the AB1234 requirements is the inclusion of a section on No Cash Advances. The
proposed policy will establish what is a reimbursable evenVactivity, what is required for
record keeping and reimbursement, penalties for failure to comply with procedures, and
public reporting. The Acting City Manager also discussed changes from the current
policy, and what items are not reimbursable.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben questioned staff on dollar amounts identified for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner.
The Acting City Manager reported that the GSA website has a breakdown, and that
information would be provided to the City Council once a policy is adopted.
The Acting City Manager also briefed the City Council on penalties established by the
California Government and Penal Codes.
The City Attorney brought to the City Council's attention a disclaimer regarding charter
cities in the preface of the proposed Travel and Reimbursement Policy.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben stated that he felt this was a very reasonable policy but would
prefer the more common 50-mile limitation for local travel rather than the proposed 60-
244
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 25, 2006
mile limitation. Also, he felt the penalty section was rather strict and was concerned
that a math or clerical error, or a clearly unintentional misstatement, would result in
penalties.
The City Attorney indicated that there would be no penalty in those cases and that the
only reason there is penalty language included is because it is specified in the statute.
Council Member McGill questioned staff on per diem and the requirement for receipts.
The Acting City Manager indicated that the City currently has a per diem.
Mayor Sondhi questioned staff on who is or is not authorized to have City credit cards,
specifically as it relates to travel expenses and proper documentation of direct charges.
The Acting City Manager reported that the City does have a policy on credit cards and
City Council Members have a choice on whether or not to accept them. All department
heads have credit cards and some have extra cards to cover prepaid expenses, such
as hotels. He stated that commissioners do not have City credit cards.
The Acting City Manager indicated that once this policy is adopted, a similar policy for
the rest of the City will be "mirrored", with a few slight exceptions.
The City Attorney reported that AB 1234 states that if the City wants to vary from the
policy, it must be done as a public action.
Council Member McGill stated that he felt this was very appropriate and was glad for
this opportunity to modernize and be more responsive.
The Acting City Manager reported this policy will be brought back to the City Council for
adoption.
Discussion of City Commissions and Appointments to Fill Unscheduled Vacancies
The Administrative Services Manager provided background information on this item.
She indicated that staff is trying to obtain information on the time and manner of
addressing the four unscheduled Commission vacancies, all voluntary, that have
occurred. She stated that the City currently has four Commissions: Cable Television,
Recreation and Community Services, Traffic, and Senior Citizens.
She stated that in 2006, the City did not conduct a recruitment because there were no
vacancies; therefore, there is not a list to draw from to fill these vacancies. The City's
Charter stipulates that when a vacancy is filled, it is only for the remaining term;
however, it is silent as to a timeframe to fill the vacancy.
The Administrative Services Manager reviewed the City Council's options and issues for
the 12 vacancies that will naturally expire on June 30, 2007.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben questioned staff on the two-term limit and if someone is
appointed to fill the unexpired term, would they be penalized to only one more term on
that particular Commission.
Council Member McCoy questioned the need for the Cable Television Commission and,
if not, suggested shuffling those Commissioners to other Commissions.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben also questioned the need for the Cable Commission, and
thought the City should wait until the next natural appointment time.
Mayor Sondhi felt it was the consensus not to appoint for short terms and that staff
might want to explore the possibility of alternates for every Commission. She also liked
the idea of exploring the ongoing validity of the Cable Commission and giving those
individuals an opportunity to transfer to another commission.
