The City Council is asked to review and approve Resolution No 2023-21, which would adopt a Per Diem and Travel Expense Policy Procedural Guide.

The City requires sufficient procedures to properly manage the travel costs of City employees, City officers, and other authorized persons, therefore, the City desires to establish a Per Diem and Travel Expense policy to provide equitable and consistent reimbursement rates for travel costs throughout the organization. This will allow for the policy to be updated routinely for new developments or clarity. This policy will supersede the any per diem and travel policy within the City’s approved Purchasing Policy and Procedures manual adopted in October 2011.
