Selling commissions and such other fees and expense reimbursements due to the Dealer pursuant to this Agreement will be paid to the Dealer within 30 days after their receipt by the Dealer Manager. The Dealer, in its sole discretion, may authorize the Dealer Manager to deposit selling commissions and any other fees or payments due to it pursuant to this Agreement directly to its bank account. If the Dealer so elects, the Dealer shall provide such deposit authorization and instructions in Schedule 2 to this Agreement.
Educational Reimbursement A) The City will reimburse tuition costs and general fees for courses taken at an educationally accredited college or university by full-time permanent employees. Such course work must be approved prior to enrolling by submitting documentation that the course(s) is necessary toward a degree which is required for a position in the City (including electives for that degree). Thereafter, the course work must be approved by the Department Head and finally to the Director of Human Resources. The fact that a specific course is required for a degree major where the degree with such a major exists as a minimum requirement for a higher classification will be relevant.
B) The City will also reimburse for technical courses. Courses must either be directly related to the employee’s current job or related to another classification career path. The determination of relatedness shall be made by the Director of Human Resources. To be related to a career path the course work must be within three (3) normal promotional steps. Technical courses will be fully reimbursed for a passing grade.
C) The City will reimburse the employee the cost of tuition and general fees for ten (10) credit hours per quarter/semester at the percentage rate of 100% for a grade of "A" "B" or "C". Reimbursement shall be limited to tuition levels and general fees charged by the University of Toledo. These costs will be reimbursed upon the documented presentation of a "C" or 2.0 grade or better.
D) If licensing or certification is a requirement of a classification held by an employee, the City shall pay the employee's licensing or certification expenses. Expenses for required training and/or educational units necessary for maintaining licenses or certifications used or mandated for any classification shall also be reimbursed by the City.
E) The City shall provide training and/or educational programs for full-time permanent employees to enhance career development under a program established jointly by the parties. (refer to Section 2106.72)
F) The City and AFSCME Local 2058 recognize the importance of maintaining and upgrading skills as changes occur in the workplace. The parties are committed to identifying resources to assist employees with upgrading their skills. Training in these new areas may be done by City personnel. When it is beyond the scope of City personnel, training may be conducted through outside services. These costs shall be borne under the City's continuing education program.
G) Any employee participating in the tuition reimbursement program that resigns, retires (non- disability) or is terminated must repay in full the tuition reimbursement paid by the City for courses completed less than five (5) years prior to the date of resignation, retirement, or termination. If necessary, this amount shall be deducted from the employee’s severance pay and/or his or her final paycheck. In the event the employee’s severance pay and/or final paycheck are insufficient to cover the full tuition reimbursement owed to the City, the employee must make arrangements to repay the amount owed. The City may pursue collection of the amount owed, if necessary. An employee who resigns or is terminated for cause or performance will lose all rights and benefits under the educational reimbursement refund policy effective on the date of his or her resignation, retirement, or termination. 2106.92 Base Annual Salaries A) Hourly Wages B) In accordance with Section 2106.02 “Classifications,” effective January 1, 2019, the Supervisor – Communications position will be divided into Supervisor - Police Communications and Supervisor - Fire Communications. The Supervisor - Fire Communications classification will be assigned to salary group eleven (11) and the Supervisor - Police Communications classification will be assigned to salary group thirteen (13). The employees will not receive another base wage increase for the duration of the agreement. CD) An employee who is promoted or who works above his classification will receive the Starting Rate of the class to which the employee has been promoted unless the Starting Rate of the new classification is less than four percent (4%) greater than the rate the employee was earning in his regular classification. If the Starting Rate of the new classification is not at least four percent (4%) greater than the rate the employee was earning in his regular classification, then the employee shall receive the full rate of the new classification. When an employee falls into a pay status that reflects less than one (1) cent, between the start rate and the full rate, then the City shall pay the full rate of pay. The Mayor may decide to pay a promoted employee at the full rate of pay that is applicable, provided that such decisions shall not establish a precedent or practice. Promoted employees at the Starting Rate will remain at the rate for one thousand forty (1,040) actual work hours after their appointment.

Drawing and Reimbursement The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date made shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by any such Issuing Bank of an Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft, without regard to whether the making of such an Advance would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused Commitment. Each Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it to the applicable Borrower and the Agent. Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Agent and the applicable Borrower, each Lender shall pay to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Advance pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Advances pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Share of an outstanding Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time.

If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute an Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
Reimbursement of Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements If on any day during which the Advisory Agreement is in effect, the estimated annualized Fund Operating Expenses of the Fund for that day are less than the Operating Expense Limit, the Adviser shall be entitled to reimbursement by a Fund of the investment advisory fees waived or reduced, and any other expense reimbursements or similar payments remitted by the Adviser to the Fund pursuant to Section 1 hereof (the “Reimbursement Amount”) within three years after the year in which the Adviser waived or reduced investment advisory fees or reimbursed expenses, to the extent that the Fund’s annualized Operating Expenses plus the amount so reimbursed equals, for such day, the Operating Expense Limit, provided that such amount paid to the Adviser will in no event exceed the total Reimbursement Amount and will not include any amounts previously reimbursed.

Insurance Reimbursement If you have a health insurance policy, it will usually provide some coverage for mental health treatment. I will facilitate your receipt of the benefits to which you are entitled including filling out forms and speaking with insurance representatives. You will be held responsible for full payment of our agreed upon fee should your insurance company deny benefits or should your coverage lapse. Therefore, it is very important that you find out exactly what mental health benefits your insurance policy covers. Read your plan carefully and call your service representative if you have questions. Many insurance plans require advance authorization before they will provide reimbursement for mental health services. These plans often are oriented toward a short-term model and provide only a certain amount of sessions per year. Many insurance companies may only authorize a few sessions at a time and I will need to periodically call them to authorize additional sessions. When I call to authorize treatment or continue our sessions, I will provide them with the minimum amount of information needed, usually including a diagnosis, goals for treatment, and a brief summary of your current functioning. It is possible, but very rare, that they would require a copy of my clinical record. This information will become part of insurance company files and is likely to be computerized. All insurance companies claim to keep such information confidential, but once it is in their hands, I have no control over what they do with it. In some cases, they may share the information with a national medical information data bank. By signing this Agreement, you agree that I can provide requested information to your insurance carrier. If you request it, I will provide you with a copy of any report that I am asked to submit. I make it my policy to inform you along the way of where we stand with your insurance company and what kind of information they have requested. Should insurance coverage end for some reason, we can discuss an out-of-pocket session fee. You can always choose to select this option and have the right to pay for my services yourself to avoid the complexities of the insurance industry.
