The intent behind the review was to ensure that the reimbursement rate was adequate to cover expenses in higher priced cities. A survey was conducted to determine the procedure of sur- rounding cities relative to the adequacy of their reimbursement rates. with the exception of Colton which ,established a maximum reimbursement rate of $45.00 per day I.,fdr higher\priced cities, it was found that the majority of the cities reimbursed their employees based on actual expenses which were incurred. After discussing this issue with the Acting Ci~y Administrator and Executive Director of the RDA, it ~s recommended that the maximum reimbursement rate needs to be increased to $45.00 per day. 75.0264 1 /:'....
