The Dixon Library Commission recognizes that staff members must occasionally travel to conduct official business and to attend professional meetings and conferences. The commission encourages staff attendance at professional library meetings and visitation of other libraries. Staff members are asked to share their experiences and ideas with the commission either by a verbal or written report.
Time with pay will be allowed for staff travel time in connection with official district business and with attendance at professional meetings. Travel expenses, including public transportation, mileage for personal vehicle use, meals, the library district will reimburse lodging and registration fees as line items budgeted in Management Business Expenses [2339] and Personal Mileage [2355]. Per Diem and lodging allocations will be in accordance with Federal General Services Administration Maximum Travel Allowances unless otherwise approved in writing by the District Librarian. Exceptions will be reported to the Commission.
Staff members may attend workshops and conferences with the District Librarian’s approval. The Library Commission must approve travel by any staff member outside of the State of California.
