WHEREAS, the reimbursement amounts allowed County Commissioners, officers and
employees under Sec. 112.061, FS, when traveling on County business have remained the
same for many years;

spend on meals and mileage when traveling on County business thus requiring the official
traveler to spend his or her funds with only partial reimbursement; and
WHEREAS, Sec. 112.061(14), FS, was recently adopted by the Legislature in order to
allow the various county commissions to increase reimbursement amounts for county
commissioners and county officers and employees beyond the otherwise mandatory
statutory amounts to remedy the situation just described;

authority granted in Sec. 112.061(14), FS; now, therefore

conference or when traveling within or outside the state in order to conduct bona fide state
business, which convention, conference, or business serves a direct and lawful public
purpose with relation to the public agency served by the person attending such meeting or
conducting such business, either of the following for each day of such travel at the option of
the traveler:
1. One Hundred dollars per diem; or
2. If actual expenses exceed $100, the amounts permitted in paragraph (b) for meals, plus
actual expenses for lodging at a single-occupancy rate to be substantiated by paid bills
therefor.
When lodging or meals are provided at a state institution, the traveler shall be reimbursed
only for the actual expenses of such lodging or meals, not to exceed the maximum
provided for in this subsection.
(b) All travelers shall be allowed the following amounts for subsistence while on Class C
travel on official business as provided in paragraph (5)(b):
1. Breakfast $ 6.50
2. Lunch $13.50
3. Dinner $27.00
(c) No one, whether traveling out of state or in state, shall be reimbursed for any meal or
lodging included in a convention or conference registration fee paid by the state.
Sec. 2-609. TRANSPORTATION.
(a) All travel must be by a usually traveled route. In case a person travels by an indirect
route for his or her own convenience, any extra costs shall be borne by the traveler; and
reimbursement for expenses shall be based only on such charges as would have been
incurred by a usually traveled route. The County Administrator or his or her designee shall
designate the most economical method of travel for each trip, keeping in mind the following
conditions:
1. The nature of the business.
2. The most efficient and economical means of travel (considering time of the traveler,
impact on the productivity of the traveler, cost of transportation, and per diem or
subsistence required). When it is more efficient and economical to either the traveler or the
agency head, jet service offered by any airline, whether on state contract or not, may be
used when the cost is within an approved threshold determined by the County
Administrator or his or her designee.
3. The number of persons making the trip and the amount of equipment or material to be
transported.
(b) Transportation by common carrier when traveling on official business and paid for
personally by the traveler, shall be substantiated by a receipt therefor. Federal tax shall not
be reimbursable to the traveler unless the state and other public agencies are also required
by federal law to pay such tax. In the event transportation other than the most economical
class as approved by the County Administrator is provided by a common carrier on a flight
check or credit card, the charges in excess of the most economical class shall be refunded
by the traveler to the County.
(c) The use of privately owned vehicles for official travel in lieu of publicly owned vehicles
or common carriers may be authorized by the County Administrator or his or her designee.
Whenever travel is by privately owned vehicle, the traveler shall be entitled to a mileage
allowance at a fixed rate of 40 cents per mile or the common carrier fare for such travel, as
determined by the County Administrator. Reimbursement for expenditures related to the
operation, maintenance, and ownership of a vehicle shall not be allowed when privately
owned vehicles are used on public business and reimbursement is made pursuant to this
paragraph, except as provided in subsection (8).
2. All mileage shall be shown from point of origin to point of destination and, when
possible, shall be computed on the basis of the current map of the Department of
Transportation. Vicinity mileage necessary for the conduct of official business is allowable
but must be shown as a separate item on the expense voucher.
(e) Transportation by chartered vehicles when traveling on official business may be
authorized by the County Administrator when necessary or where it is to the advantage of
the agency, provided the cost of such transportation does not exceed the cost of
transportation by privately owned vehicle pursuant to paragraph (d).
(f) The County Administrator or his or her designee may grant monthly allowances in fixed
amounts for use of privately owned automobiles on official business in lieu of the mileage
rate provided in paragraph (d). Allowances granted pursuant to this paragraph shall be
reasonable, taking into account the customary use of the automobile, the roads customarily
traveled, and whether any of the expenses incident to the operation, maintenance, and
ownership of the automobile are paid from funds of the agency or other public funds. Such
allowance may be changed at any time, and shall be made on the basis of a signed
statement of the traveler, filed before the allowance is granted or changed, and at least
annually thereafter. The statement shall show the places and distances for an average
typical month's travel on official business, and the amount that would be allowed under the
approved rate per mile for the travel shown in the statement, if payment had been made
pursuant to paragraph (d).
(g) No contract may be entered into between a public officer or employee, or any other
person, and the County in which a depreciation allowance is used in computing the amount
due by the agency to the individual for the use of a privately owned vehicle on official
business.
(h) No traveler shall be allowed either mileage or transportation expense when
gratuitously transported by another person or when transported by another traveler who is
entitled to mileage or transportation expense. However, a traveler on a private aircraft
shall be reimbursed the actual amount charged and paid for the fare for such transportation
up to the cost of a commercial airline ticket for the same flight, even though the owner or
pilot of such aircraft is also entitled to transportation expense for the same flight under this
subsection.
Sec. 2-610. OTHER EXPENSES.
(a) The following incidental travel expenses of the traveler may be reimbursed:
1. Taxi fare.
2. Ferry fares; and bridge, road, and tunnel tolls.
3. Storage or parking fees.
4. Communication expense.
5. Convention registration fee while attending a convention or conference which will serve
a direct public purpose with relation to the County. A traveler may be reimbursed the actual
and necessary fees for attending events which are not included in a basic registration fee
that directly enhance the public purpose of the participation of the County in the
conference. Such expenses may include, but not be limited to, banquets and other meal
functions. It shall be the responsibility of the traveler to substantiate that the charges were
proper and necessary. However, any meals or lodging included in the registration fee will
be deducted in accordance with the allowances provided in subsection (6).
Sec. 2-611. RULES. The County Administrator may adopt such rules, including, but
not limited to, the general criteria to be used by the agency to predetermine justification
for attendance by officers and employees and authorized persons at conventions and
conferences, and prescribe such forms as are necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
ordinance. The County Administrator may also adopt rules prescribing the proper
disposition and use of promotional items and rebates offered by common carriers and other
entities in connection with travel at publiC expense.
Sec. 2-612. FRAUDULENT CLAIMS. Claims submitted pursuant to this section shall
not be required to be sworn to before a notary public or other officer authorized to
administer oaths, but any claim authorized or required to be made under any provision of
this ordinance shall contain a statement that the expenses were actually incurred by the
traveler as necessary travel expenses in the performance of official duties and shall be
verified by a written declaration that it is true and correct as to every material matter.
(a) Any person who willfully makes and subscribes any such claim which he or she does
not believe to be true and correct as to every material matter, or who willfully aids or
assists in, or procures, counsels, or advises the preparation or presentation under the
provisions of this ordinance of a claim which is fraudulent or is false as to any material
matter, whether or not such falsity or fraud is with the knowledge or consent of the person
authorized or required to present such claim, is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second
degree as provided by statute, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083., and
whoever shall receive an allowance or reimbursement by means of a false claim shall be
civilly liable in the amount of the overpayment for the reimbursement of the public fund
from which the claim was paid pursuant to the provisions of Section 112.061, Florida
Statutes.
(b) Any person who willfully makes and subscribes any such claim which he or she does
not believe to be true and correct as to every material matter, or who willfully aids or
assists in, or procures, counsels, or advises the preparation or presentation under the
provisions of this ordinance of a claim which is fraudulent or is false as to any material
matter, whether or not such falsity or fraud is with the knowledge or consent of the person
authorized or required to present such claim, and whoever shall receive an allowance or
reimbursement by means of a false claim, shall be subject to discipline, up to and including
termination of employment. The amount involved shall not be material to the discipline to
be imposed.
Sec. 2-613. TRAVEL VOUCHER FORMS. The County Administrator shall furnish a
uniform travel voucher form which shall be used by all travelers and authorized persons
when submitting travel expense statements for approval and payment. No travel expense
statement shall be approved for payment unless made on the form prescribed and
furnished by the County Administrator. The travel voucher form shall provide for, among
other things, the purpose of the official travel and a certification or affirmation, to be signed
by the traveler, indicating the truth and correctness of the claim in every material matter,
that the travel expenses were actually incurred by the traveler as necessary in the
performance of official duties, that per diem claimed has been appropriately reduced for
any meals or lodging included in the convention or conference registration fees claimed by
the traveler, and that the voucher conforms in every respect with the requirements of this
section.
Sec. 2-614. ADVANCEMENTS. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing restrictions and
limitations, the County Administrator or his or her designee may make, or authorize the
making of, advances to cover anticipated costs of travel to travelers. Such advancements

custody of the traveler in the performance of his or her duties.
Sec. 2-615. DIRECT PAYMENT OF EXPENSES BY AGENCY. Whenever the County
requires an employee or publiC officer to incur either Class A or Class B travel on
emergency notice to the traveler, such traveler may request the agency to pay his or her
expenses for meals and lodging directly to the vendor, and the agency may pay the vendor
