Section 17.08 Travel and Meal Allowance (see Appendix E for form) <br />If employees are required to travel outside of the area in performance of their duties as a city employee, <br />they will receive reimbursement of expenses for meals, lodging and necessary expenses incurred. In <br />no case will city funds be used to pay for, or reimburse, for events sponsored by or affiliated with <br />political parties. The City will only reimburse employees for special event (such as clean-up day) and <br />training event meals (such as required lunch trainings) with approval by the Department Head. The <br />city will also not reimburse employees for the costs for travel of family members. The City will not <br />provide reimbursement for alcoholic beverages. <br />Employees who find it necessary to use their private automobiles for city travel and who do not receive <br />a car allowance will be reimbursed at the prevailing mileage rate as established by the City Council, <br />not to exceed the allowable IRS rate. <br />Expenses for meals and lodging will be reimbursed at the current IRS per diem rate. <br />Page 60 of 151 <br />156 <br />
