3. Travel Expenses:
Agency Board members and the Executive Director may use their private vehicle for Agency business purposes if it is less expensive than renting a car, taking a taxi, using alternative transportation or if it saves time. The traveler will be reimbursed at a standard mileage reimbursement rate equal to the mileage rate promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service for business purposes.

Meals will be reimbursed at actual expense or a per diem rate, whichever is less. Lodging will be reimbursed at actual expenses.

Reimbursement for miscellaneous expenses shall be determined on a case by case basis. Mileage rates, per diem allowances and lodging caps will be established and from time to time amended by the Board. All determinations made pursuant to this section shall be made by the Executive Director. In the instance where such determinations regard the travel of the Executive Director, the Chairman shall make such determinations.
