Travel policy updates set for July consent agenda, adopt IRS mileage and GSA per diem rules
Summary
Morgan County will place proposed travel policy updates on the July 7 consent agenda; proposals include adopting the current IRS business mileage rate (reviewed annually July 1) and GSA per diem rates for overnight travel.
Assistant County Manager Mark Williams presented proposed revisions to the Morgan County Travel Policy at the June 16 work session. Revisions would set mileage reimbursement at the current IRS business mileage rate (to be reviewed annually on July 1), require documentation of round-trip mileage, apply U.S. General Services Administration per diem rates for overnight meal and incidental expenses (with one-half of the daily rate allowed on travel days), and prohibit reimbursement for same-day meals or expenses attributable to accompanying spouses or dependents.
Commissioner Nathan Park moved, and Commissioner Ben Riden Jr. seconded, to place the proposed Travel Policy updates on the Consent Agenda for the July 7, 2026 Board meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
The minutes do not record specifics such as which IRS rate (cent-per-mile) or GSA locality tables will apply; staff will include those operational details when the item appears on the July consent agenda.
