Summary

Commissioners appointed a committee to revise the county travel policy to align with IRS/GSA per-diem rules and approved a one-time reimbursement at IRS rates for a staff travel expense to Washington, D.C.

County staff proposed updating the travel policy to align per-diem, meal and mileage reimbursement with current IRS/GSA rates and to clarify out-of-state preapproval rules. Commissioners discussed administrative details and the operational effects of changing per-diem calculations and procedures.

The court appointed a working group led by Brianna and Kim (auditor/purchasing staff) with direction to include appropriate stakeholders (including George) and return recommendations. Separately, commissioners approved a one-time reimbursement for a grant coordinator's Washington, D.C. training trip at current IRS per-diem rates for meals not provided at the event. The court made the appointments and reimbursement approvals by motion and voice vote.
