RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
That the City Council approve, pursuant to Administrative Policy 01200.001, the advanced travel request for event registration fees only for Council Member Jason Scott to attend the League of California Cities Mayors and Council Members Executive Forum from June 27-28, 2018 in Monterey, California.
Body
ANALYSIS:
Administrative Policy No. 01200.001 (Travel and Other Expenses Reimbursement Policy) requires all City Officials to obtain advanced approval from the City Council for trips involving overnight stays and travel by air. Council Member Scott is requesting advanced approval to attend the League of California Cities Mayors and Council Members Executive Forum from June 27-28, 2018 in Monterey, California. As indicated further on the attached City Official Advanced Travel Request signed by Council Member Scott, as well as the attached forum brochure, this two-day forum is a valuable opportunity to become better educated on many challenges and cutting-edge approaches to handling them.
While the policy authorizes City Officials to request that the City pay for all actual and necessary expenses for an approved trip, Council Member Scott is requesting that the City only pay for the registration fee in the amount of $375. He will be covering the cost for meals, lodging and transportation. Since the only expense to be incurred by the City is the $375 registration fee requested to be approved by this action, no further actions or approvals by the City Council will be necessary.
