The city council by resolution or ordinance shall provide for a means of determining what expenses are reimbursable and what requirements must be met for reimbursement. The addition of per-meeting salaries and health benefits is viewed as fair compensation to the council members for the time and effort in preparing for and attending city council meetings. It is also intended to make service on the council more attractive to potential candidates, and to encourage attendance at meetings. It is important to note that council members who are employed by other governmental entities will be required to waive compensation and benefits from the City to avoid state constitutional prohibitions against dual office-holding. 3.
