SEC. 470. AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT OFFICIAL BUSINESS OUTSIDE THE

GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY (OUT-OF-COUNTY BUSINESS) AND WITHIN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (IN-COUNTY BUSINESS).

(a) Except as otherwise provided, the Board of Supervisors (Board) delegates the authority for approving specific travel requests within San Diego County (in-County business) and outside the geographical boundaries of San Diego County (out- of-County business) to the Chief Administrative Officer and individual elected officials.

(b) For purposes of this section, the Chief Administrative Officer includes the following authorized representatives: Assistant Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer (ACAO/CFO), Deputy Chief Administrative Officers (DCAO), the Director, Health and Human Services (Agency Director) and Department Heads. Department Heads may delegate in County and out-of-County business signatory authority to Executive Management (EM or UM) level staff within their Department or Agency.

(c) The Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee, may approve in-County and out-of-County travel requests and expense claims. However, personal travel requests and expense claims of authorized representatives (ACAO/CFO, DCAO, or Agency Director (HHSA)) require approval of the Chief Administrative Officer.

(d) In extraordinary circumstances, travel outside of the United States that requires prior Board approval as defined in this section, may be taken prior to receiving approval of the Board of Supervisors. Such out-of-County business must be presented for Board ratification at the next appropriate meeting.

These administrative procedures apply only to discretionary County business travel. They do not apply to "operational" travel that occurs in the course of carrying out the functions of a department in a business as usual situation. Examples include travel by Sheriff's deputies, County attorneys, public defenders, and deputy district attorneys or their investigators in connection with a pending case, or prisoner or witness transportation. "Operational travel" is subject to GSA per diem rates.

(e) Out-of-County business must be authorized as described above in order to qualify for reimbursement of related actual and necessary expenses. Prior to being taken, any request for out-of-County business activity must be submitted to the Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee, for approval on a form prescribed by the Auditor & Controller. Upon return, a claim containing actual and necessary expenditures will be submitted to the Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee, for approval prior to processing by the Auditor & Controller, provided, however, that elected County officials may approve claims relating to their own approved out-of- County business.

(f) The Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee, may approve the following:

• Out-of-County business requests.

• Resultant claims.

• County business advances per Section 473.1.

• Unusual actual County business expenses per Section 472.1.

• Mode of transportation, including most appropriate available public carrier, per Section 474.

• Authorized County activities per Section 471.

(g) County business that is required by Federal or State law or court order shall be subject to the provisions of this Article unless otherwise specified.

(h) County officers and employees in the performance of official duties may conduct out-of-County business without specific authorization outside of the County of San Diego and into the Counties of Orange, Riverside, or Imperial. Specific approval must be obtained from the Board for travel to destinations outside of the United States. Business travel to Mexico and Canada is exempt from this restriction and should be budgeted.

(i) When on official County business, employees will not conduct County business at the expense of persons doing or seeking to do business with the County, without prior approval of the Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee.

(j) All payments made by the County pursuant to this Article shall be subject to applicable IRS rules and guidelines.

SEC. 472. NORMAL MAXIMUM REIMBURSABLE RATES AND AMOUNTS.

Pursuant to Sections 913 and 913.1 of the County Charter, the normal maximum rates and amounts to be paid as reimbursement for actual and necessary expenditures related to authorized County business are established in this Section and Section 472.1. The Auditor & Controller shall periodically review these reimbursable rates and amounts and, as necessary, prepare adjustments for the Board's approval.

Transportation

The amount of reimbursement shall equal the actual cost of carrier services, including taxi-cabs, ride share services (Uber, Lyft), shuttles, vehicle rental and storage of vehicle.

For transportation by privately owned aircraft, the amount of reimbursement shall equal the equivalent fare for the appropriate available out-of-County public carrier as determined by the Auditor & Controller. For transportation by privately owned vehicle, the reimbursable amount shall be equivalent to the fare of the most appropriate available public carrier as determined by the Auditor & Controller, or the calculated actual mileage reimbursement, whichever is less. Mileage shall be reimbursed using the IRS mileage rate in effect at the County at the time of travel. In the event the IRS increases or decreases the reimbursement rate for mileage, the County will adjust its rate of reimbursement to equal the IRS rate within sixty (60) days of the effective date of the IRS increase.

When out-of-County travel is authorized using a privately owned vehicle or aircraft, the cost of the actual and necessary transportation, including parking fees at the destination shall also be eligible for reimbursement. The number of meals, nights of lodging, and days in a duty out-of-County business status shall be limited to the number which would have been required if transportation were furnished by the most appropriate available public carrier.

When available and cost-effective, use of a County Pool Vehicle is encouraged.

Lodging

The cost of lodging is limited to the amount arranged through the approved County travel agent. If booked outside the County travel agent, reimbursement shall be limited to the lesser of the published GSA per diem rate for the time and location of travel (GSA rates can be accessed via the Auditor and Controller's website) or the actual cost incurred. For locations not specifically listed in the schedule of GSA schedule, the per diem rate for the closest location to the vicinity of travel, as determined by the Auditor & Controller shall be used as the basis for reimbursement. Actual room tax may be reimbursed even if it is computed on room costs which exceed the stated rate.

Reimbursement for lodging involving the use of field camping eguipment, including tents, campers, trailers, mobile homes, and similar portable or vehicular lodging eguipment provided by the person in the service of the County shall be based upon the type of eguipment used and the nature of the out-of-County business. Such reimbursement shall not exceed either: the amount arranged through the approved County travel agent; the relevant GSA per diem rate as determined by the Auditor & Controller; a reasonable amount determined by the Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee; or a combination of any of the items listed above.

Meals and Incidentals

GSA per diem rates based on the location of travel will be used for the reimbursement of meals and incidentals. These rates include any applicable tax and gratuity. Where the cost of a meal or meals is included as part of a registration charge or fee, there shall be no per diem meal reimbursement for the applicable meal period covered by such registration. Incidentals

include fees and tips given to porters, baggage carriers, bellhops, and hotel staff.

Same Day Travel — meal reimbursements for same day travel (in- or out-of-County) will be subject to federal and state taxes and be reported as taxable wages on Form W-2 according to IRS guidelines. This also applies to operational travel and other same day meal reimbursements with the exception of meals meeting the IRS's definition of business entertainment or de minimis costs.

No reimbursement shall be made for alcoholic beverages of any kind.

Miscellaneous Expenses

Depending on the duration of the out-of-County business, miscellaneous items such as laundry and dry cleaning may be reimbursed in an amount that is determined by the Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee, to be reasonable and necessary for the conduct of County business. In addition to any reimbursement for use of a privately owned vehicle, 40% of the effective IRS mileage rate or a reasonable amount determined by the Chief Administrative Officer, or authorized designee, shall be reimbursed for each mile an authorized privately or publicly owned trailer is towed on business for the County by that vehicle.
