(a) Employees who are sent out of town to attend seminars, meeting, etc., shall be paid their regular wage plus mileage to fluctuate with the federal standard, for use of their own car, lodging, toll charges and meals. Meal reimbursements are made only from submitted receipts at a maximum value not to exceed a thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per day reimbursement.
(b) (1) Employees who use their own cars for City business may be reimbursed at the rate to fluctuate with the federal standard. Long trips if a City car is unavailable, are exempt. Auto Club mileage charts will be used to determine trip miles. Employees may, in lieu of the car allowance, use their expenses for federal income tax deductions.
(Ord. 144-2008. Passed 11-17-08.)
(2) All expenses must be submitted to the Auditor’s office on a monthly basis and within thirty (30) days of stated reimbursement dates.
(Ord. 22-2016. Passed 2-1-16.)
(c) Employees who travel for the City by air (which is a true rarity and only in an exceptional necessity) are not permitted to accumulate “frequent flyer” miles in any manner. The City has no use for accumulating “frequent flyer” miles and your reimbursement does not permit personal accumulations of “frequent flyer” miles for travel paid for by the City.
