REIMBURSEMENT FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES

 

The actual and necessary expenses of a director, administrator, staff member or designate of the district incurred in the course of performing services for the district, whether within or outside of the district, may be reimbursed in accordance with the approval and reimbursement procedures of the district.  For purposes of this policy, travel expense includes amounts paid for use of personal automobiles, other transportation, actual expenses for meals (or per-diem reimbursement in lieu of actual expenses for meals on overnight stays), lodging and related items that are necessary while in the conduct of official business of the district.  A staff member or district officer may be reimbursed for gratuities not exceeding customary percentages for the cost of meals as well as reasonable amounts for services such as baggage handling when the costs are incurred while the individual is engaged in district business or other approved travel.
