activities of City Business by City Councilmembers:
Section I - Travel and Expense Budget
Each fiscal year budget contains funds budgeted for

at the discretion of each individual Councilmember in conducting
the business of the City. Each Councilmember may expend up to one-
fifth (20. 0%) of the applicable budget.

City Councilmembers, upon request, shall be issued a
general purpose credit card to be used solely for approved City
