Summary Explanation/Background
THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 TRAVEL ALLOCATIONS.
The overall travel budget subject to the travel rules in Fiscal Year 2026 is $3,434,840, reflecting a decrease of $229,240 compared to the Fiscal Year 2025 Adopted Budget of $3,664,080. The change is due to decreases in Libraries, Parks, Cultural, Resilient Environment, Finance and Administrative Services, Human Services, Port Everglades, Public Works, and Transportation, based upon expected travel activity during Fiscal Year 2026 in those agencies.
The following attachments summarize the travel budgets for all Departments, Divisions, and Offices, showing the Fiscal Year 2024 actual expenses, the Fiscal Year 2025 Adopted and Revised budgets, and the Fiscal Year 2026 Recommended Budget. Travel amounts are included for large multi-year capital projects, and for local mileage reimbursements and educational course fees, which are categorized as travel under the County’s Chart of Accounts. Organizational changes for Fiscal Year 2026 are reflected in the Fiscal Year 2024 Actual Expenses, the Fiscal Year 2025 Adopted & Revised Budgets, and the Fiscal Year 2025 Actual Expenditures.
For information purposes, the attached Fiscal Year 2026 travel report also lists travel related to agencies not subject to the provisions of Section 20.29.
