Article 2, Section C-2.6 of the City Charter provides <br /> that the Mayor and City Commissioners shall receive reimbursement for business expenses in <br /> accordance with applicable law, or as may be otherwise provided by ordinance. <br /> The Mayor and City Commissioners represent the City in a wide range of official City functions <br /> in furtherance of official City business. The Mayor and City Commissioners are currently <br /> required to submit receipts and obtain administrative approval for each instance of expenses <br /> incurred in conducting business of the City. <br /> It is recommended that the guidelines for the reimbursement of expenses for the Mayor and City <br /> Commissioners include a fixed expense account of $6.000.00 (six thousand dollars) per fiscal <br /> year for the Mayor and each City Commissioner, thereby eliminating the need to submit receipts <br /> and obtain administrative approval for each instance in which reimbursement of expense is <br /> requested. This amendment would eliminate the certain cost of reviewing all requests for <br /> reimbursement of expenses submitted by the Mayor and/or City Commissioners in conducting the <br /> City's business. Moreover, this amendment provides a cost saving by placing a monetary cap on <br /> expenses of elected officials. Currently, elected officials may submit expenses exceeding $6,000 <br /> per fiscal year if the expenses are related to City business. <br /> http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/agenda/Preview.aspx?ItemID=891&MeetinglD=O&MeetingDat... 10/11/2012 <br />
