COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY Condensed Title: RESCINDING RESOLUTION #2003-25266 AND ADOPTING A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO MAKE CHANGES IN INDEXES USED FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL EXPENSES INCURRED FOR CITY BUSINESS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES AND OUTSIDE CONTRACTED CONSULTANTS Key Intended Outcome Supported: Ensure expenditure trends are sustainable over the long term. Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): In the 2014 Community Survey,both residents and businesses reported the following area for the City related to value for taxes paid: • Percentage of residents rating the Overall Value of City services for tax dollars paid as excellent or good(Residents: 58%; Businesses 54%) Item Summary/Recommendation: On July 30,2003,the City Commission adopted Resolution 2003-25266 confirming the City's Policy to use the Runzheimer's Meal and Lodging Cost Index for per diem and travel expenses(including lodging,meals and ground transportation). This resolution has not been updated since that time and the Administration is proposing changes in indexes used for reimbursement of travel expenses to more accurately reflect actual costs and to clarify reimbursement to outside contracted consultants. The Runzheimer's lodging rates used in this index are based upon averages and do not reflect seasonal rates where applicable. In most cases,the hotel rates at governmental conferences exceed those index rates. For example,a hotel stay at a recent Orlando Governmental conference was $149.00 while the Runzheimer index to be used was $74.25. Administration recommends that the City's travel policy be changed to include reasonable conference rates or government rates to be accepted over the average rates specified in the Runzheimer's Index. Any exceptions would require the City Manager's approval. Travel expenses for all other items will be limited to the Runzheimer's index. In addition, the City's travel policy does not address any travel expense reimbursement rates to be utilized by outside consultants. City consultants cannot utilize government rates and rates for the Runzheimer's index do not reflect seasonal rates. As a result,the City reimburses travel expenses at actual cost, unless otherwise negotatiated. The mileage rate used for reimbursement of travel is based upon the rate provided in the Florida State Statutes which is currently set at$0.445 per mile. This rate is infrequently changed by the State with the last change occurring in 2006 from $0.29 per mile to its current rate. The IRS updates its mileage index annually and the rate for 2015 is$0.575. Given the high variability of fuel prices,Administration recommends using the IRS rate that is updated annually more accurately reflects the actual costs associated with operating a vehicle. The Administration recommends that the City Commission rescind the previous Resolution#2003-25266 and adopt a new Resolution which revises the amounts allowable for lodging rates for city employees, addresses the reimbursement of allowable travel charges incurred by outside contracted consultants,and allows the mileage reimbursement rate to be tied to the IRS mileage rate. Advisory Board Recommendation: At the January 7,2015 meeting of the Finance and Citywide Project Committee,the Committee referred the item to January 14,2015,City Commission meeting without a recommendation due to a lack of detail regarding the reimbursement rates. The requested detail is included as an attachment to the memo. Financial Information: Source of Amount Account Funds: 1 2 Total Fina cial Impact Summary: The annual cost of travel expenses is subject to funds availability approved through the City's budgeting process.

Morales, City Manager • DATE: January 14, 2015 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RE OLUTION#2003-25266 AND ADOPTING A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING TH;\CITY'S POLICY TO USE REASONABLE CONFERENCE OR GOVERNMEN ROOM RATES FOR LODGING AND THE RUNZHEIMER MEAL AND LODGING COST INDEX FOR PER DIEM MEALS AND OTHER TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR CITY EMPLOYEES; AND FOR CITY CONSULTANTS, THE U.S. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (GSA) RATES FOR LODGING AND THE RUNZHEIMER MEAL AND LODGING COST INDEX FOR ALL OTHER TRAVEL EXPENSES; AND FOR ALL MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT, THE IRS MILEAGE RATE. BACKGROUND On June 11, 2003, Senate Bill 1426 gave local governments the authority to provide their own policies for reimbursement of travel expenses and per diem. If the City does not provide for its own per diem and travel policies, expenses are subject to the provisions in Section 112.061 of the Florida Statues. On Jul 30, 2003, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2003-25266 confirming the July tY City's Policy to use the Runzheimer's Meal and Lodging Cost Index for per diem and travel expenses (including lodging, meals and ground transportation). This resolution has not been updated since that time and the Administration is proposing changes in indexes used for reimbursement of travel expenses to more accurately reflect actual costs and to clarify reimbursement to outside contracted consultants. ANALYSIS The Runzheimer's lodging rates used in this index are based upon averages and do not reflect seasonal rates where applicable. In most cases, the hotel rates at governmental conferences exceed those index rates. For example, a hotel stay at a recent Orlando Governmental conference was$149.00 while the Runzheimer index to be used was$74.25. Administration recommends that the City's travel policy be changed to include reasonable conference rates or government rates to be accepted over the average rates specified in the Runzheimer's Index. Any exceptions would require the City Manager's approval. Travel expenses for all other items will be limited to the Runzheimer's index. In addition,the City's travel policy does not address any travel expense reimbursement rates to be utilized by outside consultants. City consultants cannot utilize government rates and rates for the Runzheimer's index do not reflect seasonal rates. As a result, the City reimburses travel expenses at actual cost, unless otherwise negotatiated. Administration recommends that the City's travel policy include that the City's contracted consultants utilize Commission Memorandum— Resolution for Reimbursement of Travel Expenses January 14, 2015 Page 2 of 2 the U.S. General Service Administration (GSA) rates (which reflect seasonal rates) plus taxes for lodging and the Runzheimer's index for all other expense items. The Runzheimer's index is attached in"Exhibit A"and the GSA lodging rate for Miami Beach is attached "Exhibit B". The mileage rate currently used for reimbursement of travel is based upon the rate provided in the Florida State Statutes which is currently set at $0.445 per mile. This rate is infrequently changed by the State with the last change occurring in 2006 from$0.29 per mile to its current rate. The IRS updates its mileage index annually and the rate for 2015 is $0.575. Given the high variability of fuel prices,Administration recommends using the IRS rate that is updated annually more accurately reflects the actual costs associated with operating a vehicle. At the January 7, 2015 meeting of the Finance and Citywide Project Committee, the Committee referred the item to January 14, 2015, City Commission meeting without a recommendation due to a lack of detail regarding the reimbursement rates. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission rescind the previous Resolution #2003-25266 and adopt a new Resolution which revises the amounts allowable for lodging rates for city employees,addresses the reimbursement of allowable travel charges incurred by outside contracted consultants, and allow the mileage reimbursement rate to be tied to the IRS mileage rate.
