(A) Each city official eligible for participation in the City Officials Training Program shall receive payment of $300 for each calendar year that he or she completes a training unit. Provided that, the city official shall not be awarded more than one training unit per calendar year and shall not receive payment in any single calendar year for the accumulation of more than four training units.
(B) The final training incentive payment to be received by a city official for a specific calendar year shall be determined by the multiplying the base training incentive amount by the training incentive multiplier. The training incentive multiplier is determined by the number of training units consecutively earned by the city official and shall not exceed four. The total training incentive payment shall be made to the city official presenting proof of completion of a training unit for a calendar year within thirty (60) days of the conclusion of the calendar year.
(C) The city official may continue to receive the maximum training incentive payment of the base training incentive amount multiplied by the training incentive multiplier of four for each year following the fourth year, provided that the officer continues to earn a training unit each subsequent calendar year.
(D) The failure of a city official to obtain a training unit during any calendar year shall disqualify the officer from receiving any training incentive payment for the calendar year and the city official shall lose any previously accumulated training units earned during previous calendar years, which shall result in the training incentive multiplier being reset to one in the following calendar year.
(E) Any city official earning excess hours during a calendar year shall be permitted to carry forward a maximum of ten hours to apply to the earning of the training unit in the following calendar year.
