reimburse

Secret Service spokesperson, who acknowledged the "critical need" for a mechanism to reimburse cities for public safety costs and first responder overtime pay.

In June 2023, the government said that more than 200 firms had been fined a total of nearly £7m and told to reimburse 63,000 workers for failures over several years.

And LA28 may not end up with enough cash to reimburse cities.

“The organizing committee is saying that they will reimburse the venue cities for their expenses, provided that they have a surplus,” said Zimbalist.

Separate negotiations will determine how much LA28 will reimburse Long Beach for extra services — such as trash collection and traffic management — that are above “normal and customary” for the city.
