AGENDA BILL NO. .5703 - Supplement No. 3 Initial:
Dept.Hd.
DATE: August 19, 1980 Q A "\
DEPARTMENT: City Manager C. Mgr.
Subject: COUNCIL POLICY NO. 2 - TRAVEL POLICY
Statement of the Matter
On June 19, 1979, page 4 of Council Policy No. 2 covering lodging
and meals, was revised and a per diem limit of $58.00 was established.
In light of the continuing increase in both lodging and meals, it
might be timely to consider a change.
As an example of these rising costs, the upcoming League of California
Cities Annual Conference to be held in October, indicates a single
room will cost approximately $55.00. In many instances persons on
City business must attend meetings which include a set rate for the
meals, thus cannot control the amount spent. An exception similar
to existing one for conference meals could be made for conference
lodging. A more reasonable per diem figure would be $80.00 but actual
amounts spent should still be required on the travel sheet breakdown.
Fiscal Impact
Difference between present per diem rate and that established if
Council authorizes a change.
Exhibit
Revised policy covering lodging and meals.
Recommendation
Adopt revised policy.
Council Action:
8-19-80 Council adopted the revised policy.
