The overall travel budget subject to the travel rules in Fiscal Year 2021 is $1,966,573, reflecting an $1,738,517 net decrease compared to the Fiscal Year 2020 Adopted Budget. The net decrease is primarily due to reductions throughout the organization, with Aviation and the Convention & Visitor’s Bureau reflecting the largest decreases.
The following attachments summarize the travel budgets for all Departments, Divisions, and Offices, showing the Fiscal Year 2019 actual expenses, the Fiscal Year 2020 Adopted and Revised budgets, and the Fiscal Year 2021 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.
