§ 2-30. Council travel expenditures.

(a)

Travel expense fund allocations for each council member shall be established as a part of the development of the city's operating budget. Each council member must prepare a travel expense estimate for a fiscal year and submit the estimate for discussion and approval as a part of the adopted operating budget. In the instance where an individual council member exhausts the allocated travel expense allowance, further travel expenses may not be incurred without the approval of a majority of the members of the council.

(b)

Travel reports shall be filed with the city clerk within fifteen (15) days after a member's return from that travel. In addition, travel shall not be authorized unless and until outstanding travel reports, if any, have been completed and submitted.

(c)

Council travel preparation, to include travel advances, ticket acquisitions, reservations, etc., shall be coordinated by and handled through the city clerk.
