ORDINANCE 1317 LIMITING COUNCIL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS
City Attorney reviewed council action to date on this ordinance
requested by Councilman Pagliaro to put certain limitatioos on
council r s expense policy. It has gone through several revisions since
it was introduced on March 17. This will elininate reinbursement for
nileage uithin the city, and require that meetings involve at least
one other governnental agency. It would exempt the Mayor from certain
of these restrictions since the Mayor represents the council at
retirements and other functions.
Councilman Pagliaro said the ordinance says ttone or more governnental
agencies are partici.pants. . . " If expenses vere over $200, the council
member need only get council approval on the consent calendar.

Councilnan Anstrup dj-d not want to restrict council from attending a

exanple, some very worthwhile seminar might be given by an insurance
company which would be useful for the city but which was not a
governnental agency so council could not be reimbursed.
