Sun Valley council directs treasurer to inform outside counsel that council reimbursements have ceased

During the meeting the council approved a motion directing the City Treasurer to send a letter to Associate General Counsel Jennifer Yeh clarifying that Sun Valley "is no longer, nor will be in the future, paying the Council members cash in lieu of coverage," that reimbursement amounts have ceased while the current insurance contract remains in effect, and that, "in respect to HIPAA and rights of privacy," the city will not disclose reimbursement amounts. Council Member Jane Conard moved the motion and Council Member Michelle Griffith seconded it; a voice vote was recorded with ayes from Council President Keith Saks, Council Member Michelle Griffith, Council Member Jane Conard and Council Member Peter Hendricks and no recorded nays.

The motion was presented as an administrative directive to the City Treasurer and framed as a privacy-protection measure under HIPAA and related privacy concerns; the transcript records the motion and voice vote but does not attach dollar figures or further documentation in the provided segments.
