Title 4 Municipal Personnel
Chapter 5 Travel Policy
4-503 : Per diem.
US General Services Administration establishes per diem rates for travel that provides a daily allowance to cover expenses incurred during business travel, including meals, tips, and incidentals. These rates shall be used when completing the travel authorization and per diem form. Receipts are not required for meals and incidentals when per diem is requested prior to travel. As most conferences also provide meals and many hotels provide breakfast as part of the lodging costs, these benefits should be considered when calculating per diem rates. If travel requires partial day travel, the per diem calculation shall consider actual travel times; see schedule below.
The per diem allowance is determined as follows:
| Depart | 2 A.M.-6 A.M. | 100% per diem | Return | 12 A.M.-6 A.M. | 25% per diem |
| Depart | 6 A.M.-12 P.M. | 75% per diem | Return | 6 A.M.-12 P.M. | 50% per diem |
| Depart | 12 P.M.-6 P.M. | 50% per diem | Return | 12 P.M.-6 P.M. | 75% per diem |
| Depart | 6 P.M.-12 A.M. | 25% per diem | Return | 6 P.M.-12 A.M. | 100% per diem |
Under such travel related to economic recruitment and development, legislative and international travel per diem will not apply. (as added by Ord. #2025-07, June 2025 Ch1_12-2-25)
