The Town Council shall provide reasonable compensation for other town officers and employees. (‘82 Code, § 3-100)

      (1)   Payment of an insurance premium;
      (2)   Payments in recognition of (a) longevity, (b) professional certifications, or (c) educational advancements that are separately identified on a salary ordinance or resolution;

      (4)   A payment authorized under division (C).
   (E)   Any appointed member of any Board or Commission of the town except any member of the Town Council, may elect to waive receipt of payment of compensation for services as that appointed Board or Commission member.
