Parksley council approves travel, lodging and per-diem for clerk to attend zoning administrator course
Summary
The town council voted to pay for Clerk Lauren Lewis to attend the VAZO zoning administrator course, covering hotel, dinner at the federal per-diem rate, and travel at federal rates; Councilman Henry Nicholson abstained because he reported he will attend the course.
The Parksley Town Council on Oct. 14 authorized payment of travel, lodging and per-diem expenses for Clerk Lauren Lewis to attend the Virginia Association of Zoning Officials (VAZO) zoning administrator course.
Councilman Mark Layne moved to fund the clerk’s attendance, including hotel rooms for attendees, dinner at the federal per-diem rate and travel at federal rates; Councilman Brad York seconded the motion. The motion passed with Ayes from Richard Taylor, Brad York, Jan Welch, Sam Welch and Mark Layne. Councilman Henry Nicholson recorded an abstention and stated he was attending the training.
The council noted that attendees may opt to depart either Sunday or Monday for the course. The motion did not specify dollar amounts, the department charge-codes to be used, or whether the town would seek reimbursement from any external training fund; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
The authorization allows the clerk to register and make travel arrangements consistent with the town’s direction; any further funding or budget amendments would appear on a future agenda if needed.
