Commissioners adopt travel and credit card policies; hold personnel changes for legal review
Summary
The board voted to adopt an updated travel policy (local area defined within 50 miles; lodging not reimbursable for local travel) and a new credit card policy, while deferring final action on broader personnel policy amendments pending legal counsel review.
Rebecca presented proposed revisions to the county travel policy — defining the local area as within 50 miles of Rigby, limiting lodging reimbursement within the local area and tightening per‑diem rules — and commissioners adopted the travel policy with a small change to group‑tip language. "We increase the tip to 18% ... Do you want me to increase that to 20?" a commissioner asked; commissioners agreed to adjust language for group charges.
Rebecca also presented a new credit card policy; the board moved and approved the policy and directed the treasurer to manage card issuance. By contrast, the package of personnel policy amendments (on visible body art, personnel file structure and digital storage) drew requests from elected officials to allow legal counsel to review the changes before final adoption. The board agreed to hold the personnel policy pending counsel input.
