[Adopted 1-20-1975 by L.L. No. 1-1975]
The purpose of this article is to provide for
the issuance of cash advances to village officials and employees for
necessary travel expenses.
[Amended 4-21-1997 by L.L. No. 1-1997]
The New York State per diem standards of $32,
plus $20 per meal, are hereby authorized. The amount issued will be
equal to the estimated necessary expenses but will not exceed $200
per trip.
Prior approval for an advance will be given
by the Board of Trustees.
All cash spent will be accounted for to the
Village Clerk-Treasurer on an individual item basis within three working
days of the return of the recipient to the Village of Owego.
All unexpended balances will be returned at the latest with the record of expenses required in § 49-7. Unexpended balances may be returned sooner.
A.
If the recipient of a cash advance does not file the record of expenses required in § 49-7 or does not return the unexpended balance, the Village Clerk-Treasurer will deduct the amount not accounted for from the next wage or salary check due to the individual.
B.
The recovery of the amount owed the Village of Owego
through direct payroll deduction does not relieve the recipient of
the advance from the responsibility of filing a record of expenses.
