Promulgate rules relating to budget amendments and the      procedures for transferring moneys between funds, and other rules      necessary or desirable in order to exercise its powers and perform      its duties, including rules necessary to implement section 384.6,      subsection 1.  The committee's rules are subject to chapter 17A as      applicable.         2.  Select its officers and meet at the call of the director of      the department of management or at the request of a majority of the      committee.         3.  Establish guidelines for program budgeting and accounting and      the preparation of five-year capital improvement plans.  A city shall      hold a public hearing on its capital improvement plan before adoption      of the plan.  The committee may require performance budgeting.  It      shall, where practicable, use recommendations of the national council      on governmental accounting.         4.  Review and comment on city budgets to city officials and      provide assistance to enable cities to improve upon and use sound      financial procedures.         5.  Conduct studies of municipal revenues and expenditures.         6.  Advise and make recommendations annually to the governor and      the general assembly concerning city budgets and finance.         7.  Adopt rules for the administration of a law enforcement      officer training reimbursement program by the director of the      department of management.  A decision of the director may be appealed      by a city or county to the committee.  The program shall provide      reimbursement to a city or county for necessary and actual expenses      incurred in training a law enforcement officer who resigns from law      enforcement service with the city or county within four years after      completion of the law enforcement training.  The reimbursable      training expenses include mileage, food, lodging, tuition,      replacement of an officer while the officer is in training if the      replacement officer is a temporary employee hired for that purpose      only or is on overtime status, and salary costs of the officer while      in training.  The law enforcement training eligible for reimbursement      is the minimum law enforcement officer training required under      chapter 80B and, if funding is available, approved advanced law      enforcement training and reserve officer training required under      chapter 80D.  The committee shall adopt rules prescribing application      forms, expense documentation, and procedures necessary to administer      the reimbursement program.         a.  The amount of reimbursement shall be determined as      follows:         (1)  If a law enforcement officer resigns less than one year      following completion of approved training, one hundred percent.         (2)  If a law enforcement officer resigns one year or more but      less than two years after completion of approved training,      seventy-five percent.         (3)  If a law enforcement officer resigns two years or more but      less than three years after completion of the approved training,      fifty percent.         (4)  If a law enforcement officer resigns three years or more but      not more than four years after completion of the approved training,      twenty-five percent.         b.  An appropriated law enforcement training reimbursement      account is established in the department of management.  The proceeds      shall be used by the director of the department of management to      reimburse cities or counties for eligible law enforcement training      expenses incurred as provided in this section.
