In order to promote employee support and recognition of distinguished service and to encourage attendance at an event honoring employees so recognized, the City may conduct an annual awards dinner banquet, depending on funds budgeted by the City Council, to which each regular employee will have the option to elect to receive up to two reservations for attendance. Such option shall be considered part of the City’s compensation to its regular employees and shall have no monetary value outside of the opportunity to attend the banquet. [Ord. 4179, 2014; Code 1970 § 2.43.015.]
