The benefits of the mayor shall be determined by the city council as the council determines to be reasonable and proper. The benefits associated with and available to the office of the mayor (subject to the election of the mayor) are:

A. Pension and retirement benefits as may be available through the State Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), or other such pension and retirement benefits under law;

B. Health welfare and wellness coverage and benefits (including health insurance), to the same extent as city department heads;

C. The mayor’s schedule may include such periods of leave for illness, disability, vacation (generally recommended as ten hours per month/one hundred and twenty hours annually) and all official city holidays. The mayor serves a term of office and does not “accrue” leave as other city officials; and, as a result, there is no buy-out of unused leave. The mayor shall give notice, as soon as practicable, to the city council of periods of absence in order that the mayor pro tem and council may provide for all necessary services during the mayor’s absence.

D. The mayor’s schedule of attendance to city business and periods of leave, generally consistent with the city’s standard practices, should be maintained for record-keeping purposes only. (Ord. 2942 § 3, 2015)
