A RESOLUTION REVISING THE PERSONNEL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
MANUAL BY QUALIFYING TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 of the City of Tigard Personnel Policies
and Procedures Manual provides for reimbursement of City
employees for educational expenses under certain circumstances.
It has come to the attention of the City Council that in some
situations the language of the manual might require the City
both to reimburse an employee for a course of study and also
to pay education and training incentive increments, to which
the City is committed by contract, on account of the completion
of the same course or courses. It has not been the intent of
the City Council that both forms of payment be allowed.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby resolves that
the City of Tigard Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual is
amended in the following respect:
Section 9.1 Education Reimbursement is amended by the
addition of the followting wo sentences to paragraph (b) Amount
of Tuition Reimbursable:
"The City shall not reimburse an employee for
any course which qualifies the employee for
additional pay in the form of education and
training incentive increments. As used in the
preceding sentence the term "qualifies" includes
<- a course which, on its own, qualifies the employee
for the described benefits, or, together with
another course or other courses, leads to such
qualification."
�±f In order to avoid the possibility that the word "such"
in the first line of paragraph (c) of Section 9.1 might hereafter
be read as referring to a "course which qualifies the employee
for additional pay ***," paragraph (c) Reimbursement Request
is hereby amended to read as follows:
"When the employee completes a class for which a
reimbursement request has been submitted and
approved the employee shall provide an official
transcript or report card and an itemization of
reimbursable expenses (with receipts if possible)
r; to the City Administrator."
