Mayor seeks broader expense-reimbursement policy to include board members and cell-phone costs
Summary
Council discussed that the village's expense reimbursement ordinance should cover employees' out-of-pocket costs and that Mayor Rhonda Hodges recommended expanding it to include cell-phone usage and explicitly include board members.
Council members discussed the village's expense reimbursement ordinance during the water-budget review and agreed the policy should cover employee expenses. "We do have an expense reimbursement ordinance so we should be paying employees for expenses which Rhonda recommended should also include cell phone usage along with mileage," the minutes record.
Members noted the ordinance does not currently list board members explicitly, and recommended revising the language so board members are eligible for reimbursement. Jennifer Bassett raised related questions about restructuring ordinances this year, and the attorney is preparing updates to building-code language, indicating broader municipal-code work is underway.
