(A) Each city official eligible for participation in the City Officials Training Program shall receive training incentive payments of $500 for completion of each training unit during his or her continuous service as a city official within the city. The training incentive payment shall be awarded to the city official for the completion of a training unit during the calendar year. The training incentive payment awarded shall be the base training incentive payment multiplied by the training incentive multiplier earned by the city official. The city official shall accumulate no more than one training incentive multiplier per calendar year of continuous service and in which the said city official completes a training unit, up to a maximum of four training incentive multipliers. The city official shall not be paid more than one training unit per calendar year multiplied by the applicable training incentive multiplier.
(B) The city official may continue to receive training incentive payments for four training units (such as, one training unit multiplied by four training incentive multipliers) in each calendar year following the fourth year, provided that the official continues to earn a training unit each subsequent calendar year.
(C) The failure of a city official to obtain a training unit during any calendar year shall disqualify the official from receiving any training incentive payments for the calendar year and the city official shall lose any previously accumulated training units earned during previous calendar years and said official’s training incentive multiplier shall be reset to one the following year.
(D) Any city official earning excess hours during a calendar year shall be permitted to carry forward a maximum of 15 hours to apply to the earning of a training unit in the following calendar year.
(E) Training incentive payments shall be made to a city official presenting proof of completion of a training unit for a calendar year not later than 60 days after presenting said proof to the Mayor (or other designated official).
