The factors of distance, expense, convenience and travel time must be taken into account when selecting the method of travel. 1. Air Travel.Air travel shall normally be on scheduled commercial airlines. Such air travel shall be at coach or tourist class when available. The City Manager, however, may authorize the use of air charter services when it appears a more appropriate means of travel. Air travel arrangements should be made at the earliest possible date to take advantage of discounted fares. 2. Use of City-Owned Vehicle. If a City of Dubuque owned vehicle is available for your department, the Department Manager may require it to be used in lieu of personal vehicle. 3. Use of Privately-Owned Vehicle. An employee may request authority to use a personal vehicle subject to item two in this section. Expenses that are reimbursable are mileage at the IRS rate plus actual tolls and parking fees. The route for which reimbursement is requested must be by the most direct route possible. Reimbursement will be made only for miles incurred for business purposes. Travel for entertainment or personal business shall not be included in the request for reimbursement. In no case shall reimbursement for the use of a personal vehicle, including additional required lodging and per diem, exceed the amount of a round-trip air fare ticket(coach or tourist rate) plus mileage to airport, parking fees at airport and transportation costs from destination airport to meeting/conference location if individual had flown. Determination of round- trip air fare ticket cost must be made with adequate planning at least 30 days in advance, whenever possible, at such time when travel advance form is completed/registration submitted. Round-trip air fare and other expenses documentation needs to be submitted to obtain reimbursement. There is no calculation required if a trip of 500 miles or less (one way)from Dubuque. No employee shall use a personal vehicle on official City business without having in effect minimum required insurance coverage.The minimum requirement is as follows: Personal injury liability--$100,000.00 each person Personal injury liability--$300,000.00 each occurrence Property damage liability--$ 25,000.00 Any employee who uses a personal vehicle on official City business and fails to comply with insurance requirements will be considered to be acting beyond the scope of the employee's duties and, therefore, the City would not be responsible for defending the employee against third-party claims in the event of an accident. In the event a personal vehicle is approved when commercial air travel is available and practical, and the use of a personal vehicle causes the employee to be away from the job for extra days, the working days that the employee is absent over and above what would have been necessary had commercial air travel been used shall be charged to the employee's vacation balance unless additional time is approved in advance by the City Manager. If however, the trip is 500 miles or more, an additional day will be allowed for travel at the beginning and at the end of the trip and not charged to the employee's vacation balance. Lodging and per diem costs are reimbursable for the additional travel days, subject to round-trip air fare limitation. 4. Rental Vehicle. Reimbursement for a rental vehicle will be approved only when other forms of transportation are not available or are more expensive. Rental vehicles for same day travel require City Manager approval. AUTHORIZED EXPENSES AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION As with all other City expenditures, employees are expected to use care in minimizing travel costs. Travel expenses that will be reimbursed are confined to those actual and necessary for the approved travel. Expenses for which reimbursement is being requested must be itemized on the Travel Request and Reimbursement Request Form and supported by appropriate receipts or other documentation as required below: 1. Lodging Expense. Single room costs will be reimbursed in full when documented by a paid receipt. If the lodging expense is to be paid by purchase order, enter"Billed Direct"on the lodging line of the Reimbursement Request Form. If the spouse of the employee accompanies the employee on the approved travel, the employee must personally pay all additional costs of transportation, lodging, meals and registration. In the case of lodging, the City will reimburse an employee in the amount equal to the single room rate, including tax. 2. Meal Expense. For approved travel that includes an overnight stay, meal expenses and "incidental expenses"will be reimbursed on a per diem basis using the rate established in the addendum to this AP. The term "incidental expenses" includes, but is not limited to, fees and tips for persons who provide services, such as food servers and luggage handlers. No meal receipts are required. Partial day per diem will be paid in quarter-day increments with times as follows: Midnight to 6:00 A.M. 6:00 A.M. to Noon Noon to 6:00 P.M. 6:00 P.M. to Midnight Employees will be paid one fourth of the per diem rate for each 6-hour quarter of the day during any portion of which they are out of the City on approved business travel with the exception of the quarter day in which they return. Example: An employee leaves home traveling to Des Moines on official business travel at 8 A.M. on April 20th and returns home at 4 P.M. on April 23rd. The employee would receive payment for 3.25 days of per diem - .75 on the 20th, full days on the 21st and 22nd, and .50 on the 23rd. Meal expense, which is part of an approved meeting will result in a reduction of the per diem rate by one fourth for each meal provided. For travel that does not include an overnight stay, employees will be reimbursed for actual meal and incidental expenses incurred and receipts must be attached to the request for reimbursement. Detailed receipts listing items purchased are required for reimbursement. 3. Transportation Expense. (a) Commercial Travel. When commercial transportation is paid by personal check or credit card, the transportation coupon and receipt must be attached to the Reimbursement Request Form. When paid by purchase order, standard purchase order procedures should be followed. (b) Personal Vehicle. When a personal vehicle is used, mileage reimbursement will be made at the rate established in the addendum to this AP.The total number of miles for which reimbursement is being requested must be shown on the Reimbursement Request Form. This figure will be checked by the Finance Division for reasonability. If the mileage is unusually high, include an explanation. In instances where more than one City employee travel together in a personal vehicle on approved travel, only the owner shall be reimbursed at the permitted rate per mile. (c) City-Owned Vehicle. When a City vehicle is used for approved travel reimbursement may be requested for gas and oil expenses. Gas tickets covering the amount for which reimbursement is requested must be attached.

Newspapers, magazines or books purchased while traveling are not eligible for reimbursement. Nor are expenses for entertainment, laundry, valet service, maid service, traveler's checks,flight insurance or alcoholic beverages eligible for reimbursement.These are considered personal expenses not necessary to the approved travel. OVERTIME PAY/COMP TIME Time spent by employees who are covered by the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act who are on approved travel will be compensated in accordance with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. EMPLOYEES TRAVELING TOGETHER-GROUP When employees travel together, they must either submit separate reimbursement forms, or submit all expenses under one employee's name. In either case only one employee will receive payment or travel advances for a single travel reimbursement/request form. In the case where one employee receives reimbursement for all employees, the Travel request/reimbursement must list all employees traveling and total expenses incurred for all traveling. In some instances, it may be appropriate for a City employee to pay all expenses for a group traveling and submit receipts for reimbursement. This method of reimbursement will often be the best method when a City employee is traveling with a group of elected officials, board or commission members, or other non- employee City representatives. As with all expenditures, only qualified expenses should be paid by the City employee and only qualified expenditures will be reimbursed. REIMBURSEMENT APPROVAL Approval requirements for reimbursement of travel expenses are as follows: 1. Department Manager Approval. Requests for reimbursement of travel expenses must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate department manager. 2. Finance Approval. Requests for reimbursement of travel expenses must be reviewed and approved by the Finance Department prior to payment.
