(a) Officials and employees of the City traveling outside of the City on City business for an extended period of time shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses actually incurred for meals for themselves, to a maximum of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per day, except that no official or employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for any alcoholic beverage.
(b) All requests for reimbursement of meal expenses shall be supported by receipts and shall be subject to approval by the pertinent appointing authority. Each appointing authority shall have the discretion to deny reimbursements, in whole or in part, for any meal expense if the expense was not necessarily incurred as part of City business, either because of the shortness of the time of travel outside the City or because the time of departure from or return to the City was such that the meal could normally have been consumed at home.
