(A) All employees seeking reimbursement must strive to incur the lowest possible travel expense and must exercise care to avoid impropriety or the appearance of impropriety. Public funds must never be used for personal gain.
(B) This policy has been developed to simplify compliance. If a circumstance arises which is not specifically covered, either adopt the most conservative course with the "spirit" of the policy or consult with the Clerk-Treasurer's Office.
(C) This policy applies to all business travel conducted on behalf of the city. Travel expenses are reimbursed the same for all city employees and elected officials.
(D) No variance to the amount of reimbursement under these regulations shall be made unless a memo is signed by the department head, and approved by the Mayor.
