2.06.010 Purpose. The purpose of this Chapter is to
establish a policy for the payment of necessary expenses for meals
and refreshments at certain meetings of City government and for
refreshments in the lobby of City Hall. Payment of such expenses
is necessary and appropriate due to the increasing necessity to
conduct important City business at City meetings that have to be
scheduled at normal meal times or for an extended duration,
particularly during late evening hours, and in order to encourage
citizens transacting business at City Hall to review important
information about the permitting process and other aspects of City
government, and to facilitate positive communication, particularly
when citizens have to wait for service. (Ord. 2500 §l, 7/15/88;
Ord. 2480 §1, 3/13/88)
2.06.020 Policy Established. It shall be City policy to
pay expenses for meals or refreshments, which shall in no event
include alcoholic beverages, as may be specifically approved from
time to time by the City Council or City Manager, in the following
circumstances:
A. When City meetings have to be scheduled by the City
Council at normal meal times so that City officials and employees
will be precluded from having meals on their own time, meals may be
provided for such officials and employees as approved by the City
Council for payment by the City Manager or his designee, provided
that the cost of such meals shall not exceed the amount specified
in the Personnel Policies and Procedures; and
B. When City meetings will extend over a number of hours
and refreshments will assist participants' mental and physical
faculties to function optimally and thereby facilitate meaningful
participation in, and contribution to, the process of open
government, refreshments may be provided for such participants and
paid for by the City Manager or his designee, provided that the
cost of such refreshments shall not exceed $25 per meeting.
C. In the lobby of City Hall at a location which will
encourage citizens transacting business, such as obtaining permits
or paying utility bills, to review important information about the
permitting process and other aspects of City government, provided
that the cost of such refreshments shall not exceed $25 per week.
