Speaker 3 opened a discussion of the county travel policy, centering on whether meal expenses should be reimbursable for conferences that do not require an overnight stay. Michelle Haspa (Title 4-D administrator) asked that departments be allowed a $21 lunch reimbursement for single-day conferences; a motion to allow department heads to reimburse employees $21 for lunch was made but not finally adopted. County Auditor Susan Sleeper warned that IRS rules require overnight travel to qualify for untaxed per diem and that any day-meal reimbursement could be taxable and require receipts and payroll
