SUMMARY: The current travel policy, adopted in 2003, provides for payment of actual meal
expenses with a specified maximum per meal. Due to the variation of reasonable meal costs between
travel destinations and the cost to properly administer the current program it is proposed that the basis
for meal reimbursement be changed to a per diem reimbursement program based on rates set by the
US General Services Administration. Additionally, references to procedures related to administration
of the program have been removed from the ordinance and placed in a Travel Authorization and
Reimbursement Policy.
