EMPLOYEE BUS PASS PROGRAM - This pilot program was developed by the City to enhance its benefits package, reduce City greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce parking congestion.  All benefits-eligible employees are able to receive one 30-day bus pass each month.


LONG TERM DISABILITY PLAN - Short-term absences can be covered through the use of sick days, annual pay, and the Sick Leave Bank.  However, the City provides long-term disability coverage for all benefit-eligible employees.  Employees eligible for coverage will have coverage on the first day of the month after they have completed sixty (60) days of permanent, full-time employment.

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT - Tuition reimbursement for employees is a plan which offers financial assistance to an employee who takes college-level courses directly related to his/her work or to a position the employee might conceivably be considered for in the future and which is likely to increase his/her value to the City.
