The last update to Policy No. 18, Travel and Meal Policy, was December 11, 2007.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Executive Office, in consultation with Human Resources and the Auditor-Controller, has prepared an update to County Policy No. 18, Travel and Meal Policy, in order to update Sections 4.1 and 5.2 to reflect the Federal GSA per diem rates for meals and lodging and eliminating specific dollar amounts previously included in the policy. It should be noted that all County employees traveling on County related business will continue to be encouraged to do so by the most economical means reasonably available, both in terms of financial costs as a primary focus and productive time utilization as a secondary consideration (pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Policy).
