ELECTED OFFICIAL OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL POLICY <br />Purpose: <br />The City of Saint Anthony Village recognizes that its elected officials may at times <br />receive value from traveling out of the state for workshops, conferences, events and <br />other assignments. This policy sets forth the conditions under which out-of-state travel <br />will be reimbursed by the City. This policy will be reviewed annually by City Council. <br />General Guidelines: <br />The event, workshop, conference or assignment must be approved in advance by <br />detailed motion of the City Council at an open meeting and must include an <br />estimate of the cost of the travel. In evaluating the Out -of -State Travel request, <br />the Council will consider the following: <br />• Whether the elected official will be receiving training on issues relevant <br />to the City or to his/her role as the Mayor or Councilmember; <br />• Whether the elected official will be meeting and networking with other <br />elected officials from around the country to exchange ideas on topics of <br />relevance to the City and/or official roles of local elected officials; <br />• Whether the elected official will be viewing a city facility or function that <br />is similar in nature to one that is currently operating at, or under <br />consideration by the City where the purpose for the trip is to study the <br />facility or function to bring back ideas for consideration of the full <br />Council; <br />• Whether the elected official has been specifically assigned by the City <br />Council to visit another city for the purpose of establishing a goodwill <br />relationship such as a "Sister -City" relationship; <br />2021 <br />
