A.
If pursuant to section 2.76.020 , the mayor or the council chairman, as the case may be, determines that the expense
incurred by a claimant was a necessary expense, he nevertheless may disallow a portion
of the claim deemed by him to be excessive in amount.
B.
In determining whether a claim is for an excessive amount, the mayor or council chairman,
as the case may be, shall be guided by the following criteria:
1.
The provisions of any other ordinance or collective bargaining agreement applying
to officers or employees of the County respecting allowances for similar expenses;
2.
Where relevant, the fair market value of the goods or services purchased;
3.
The alternatives which were available, in the circumstances in which the expenses
were incurred.
