§ 5.40.390. Extra expenses—Director of department of beaches and harbors.

The director of the department of beaches and harbors is authorized to incur necessary incidental expenses for luncheon and dinner conferences and meetings and other necessary expenses incidental to the furtherance of any harbor project. Reimbursement for such expenses shall be made upon the filing of claims therefor, which claims shall be filed in the same manner as claims are filed under section 5.40.090. Such expenses shall not exceed the sum of $3000.00 per fiscal year, and shall be charged to the Marina Enterprise Fund. The auditor-controller shall annually adjust the maximum incidental expenses allowed each year based upon annual changes in the National Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. Such adjustment shall be made effective February 1, 1987, based upon the published percentage change in December, 1986. Subsequent adjustments shall be made effective on February 1st of each year thereafter based upon the published percentage change in the CPI during the preceding calendar year; provided, that such change exceeds three percent. If the published percentage change in a calendar year is less than three percent, that percentage change shall be cumulated with the published percentage change in the following calendar year(s) until such time as the cumulative percentage change exceeds three percent, at which time an adjustment shall be made to reflect the total cumulative percentage change. Such adjustments in maximum incidental expenses shall be rounded to the nearest quarter dollar.
