lowest possible cost to the City for traveling on City business. For example, if paying for
parking at the airport is less expensive that paying for a taxi or airport shuttle, then the
employee should drive their car and park at the airport; or if renting a car is lower than
taking taxis at the out-of-town location, then a car should be rented; or air reservations
should be booked in advance to obtain discounted fares. The following procedures apply
whether the expense is being paid through a reimbursement or a direct advance.
B. Registration
Registration fees for authorized attendance at a meeting or training session will be paid by
the City.

activity, City-paid lodging costs shall not exceed the maximum group rate published by the
conference or activity sponsor, providing that lodging at the group rate is available at the
time of booking. If the group rate at the conference hotel is not available, then the non-
conference lodging policy described in the next paragraph should be followed to find
another comparable hotel.
Where lodging is necessary for an activity that is not related to a conference or other
organized educational activity, reimbursement or advances shall be limited to the actual
cost of the room at a group or government rate. In the event that a group or government
