AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Consideration And Discussion To Change The Travel Policy
Page 3 of 14
Kodiak Island Borough
Policy: Travel
Date Issued: xx/xx/xxxx
A. PURPOSE
To provide guidelines regarding compensable time, per diem, and procedures for those
traveling on Borough business such as conferences, meetings and continuing education
training.
B. SCOPE
All employees, assembly members, board members and volunteers are subject to this policy.
This policy addresses compensation for time spent in actual travel for employees and
associated travel expenses for all travelers. It does not address compensation for time spent
working at a destination.
C. TRAVEL COMPENSATION
Employees in positions classified as non-exempt, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA),
may be eligible for compensation for the time they spend traveling. The purpose of this policy
is to state the pay rules that apply to non-exempt employees when traveling for Borough
business. The compensation a non-exempt employee receives depends on the type of travel
and times of travel.
1) All in a Day’s Work (see Travel Definitions below)
Non-compensable time:
a. Travel from the employee’s residence (home, hotel, etc.) to the airport, ferry
terminal, etc., and vice versa
b. Meal breaks
Compensable time:
a. Time spent traveling, as a passenger, excluding [1a] above
b. Flight delay
c. If an employee is unable to return on the same day due to circumstances
beyond their control (weather, mechanical problems, etc.), review overnight
section.
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Consideration And Discussion To Change The Travel Policy
Page 4 of 14
2) Overnight (see Travel Definitions below)
Non-compensable time:
a. Traveling from the employee’s residence (home, hotel, etc.) to the airport,
ferry terminal, etc., or vice versa
b. Meal breaks
c. Time spent traveling, as a passenger, outside of normal working hours on any
day
Compensable time:
d. Time spent traveling as a passenger, during regular work hours on any day
excluding [2a-c] above
e. Time spent traveling as a driver, excluding [2a-c] above
f. Flight delay which requires remaining at the airport
3) Home to Work and Work to Home (see Travel Definitions below)
Non-compensable time:
a. Traveling to and from the principal work site
b. Traveling from town to an outlying site to get to the employer’s premises and
the return
c. Driving a Borough vehicle while going to and from home
d. Traveling to work when an employee is called back to work after going home for
the day
Compensable time:
e. Chauffeuring other employees to and from work, as directed by the employer
f. Driving a Borough vehicle for Borough business
g. Traveling from one job site to another job site during the workday
h. Traveling from an outlying job at the end of the scheduled workday to the
employer’s premises
TRAVEL DEFINITIONS
1) All in a Day’s Work
An employee sent out of town for one day is not paid for the time spent traveling from
home to the local airport or ferry terminal. The employee must be paid for all other
travel time, except meal periods. When an employee is directed to temporarily report
to another work site for training, which is within normal commuting distance from the
employee’s assigned duty station, it is considered home to work travel.
2) Crossing Time Zones
Compensable time is based on the place of origin. For example, when an employee
travels from Kodiak to Washington, D.C., compensable time is based on Kodiak time.
For the return, compensable time is based on Washington, D.C., time.
3) Home to Work and Work to Home
Home to Work and Work to Home is also called commute time. It is well established
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Consideration And Discussion To Change The Travel Policy
Page 5 of 14
that normal travel from home to work is not working time, no matter how long the
commute. An employee is not at work until they are at the work site.
4) Normal Commuting Distance
In an ordinary situation where an employee commutes to and from the work site,
even if the employee must travel to different work sites, the employee is not entitled
to additional compensation for the travel time.
5) Overnight Travel or Travel Involving more than One Work Day
When an employee travels overnight for business, they must be paid for time spent
traveling (except for meal periods) during their normal working hours on their non-
working days (such as Saturday, Sunday and holidays), as well as on their regular
working days.
For example, if an employee is scheduled to work 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday and the employee is required to travel between the hours of 6:00 p.m.
& 11:00 p.m. (on any day of the week), the employer is not required to pay for the
travel time. However, if the employee is required to travel between the hours of 8:00
a.m. & 5:00 p.m. (on any day of the week), the employer is required to pay for the
travel time.
6) Traveling with Coworkers
When traveling with more than one employee, the compensable hours may vary for
each employee. For example, if an employee who drives to the airport to attend
training with three coworkers as passengers, and the trip is made before or after
normal work hours, only the driver is working, and is compensated. If the trip occurs
during normal business hours, all employees are compensated.
7) Waiting to Engage vs. Engaged to Wait
Waiting to engage is the time an employee may appear to be on company time, but
they are not required to be on company time. For example, an employee is traveling
all day and is required to check-in one hour before their flight is scheduled to
depart. If the employee chooses to arrive at the airport 1 ½ hours before the
scheduled departure time, the additional ½ hour is not compensated. If there is no
designated check-in time by the carrier, check-in time will default to one (1) hour
before departure.
Engaged to wait is the time an employee is required to wait during travel. For
example, an employee’s flight is delayed. They are directed by the airline to remain
at the airport in preparation for boarding and is unable to use the time effectively
for their own purposes. They are compensated for the duration of the delay.
Note: Waiting time is compensable if it is not of sufficient duration that an
employee could reasonably use the time to do other things. For example: if a flight
is delayed four hours and employee’s residence is within reasonable commuting
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Consideration And Discussion To Change The Travel Policy
Page 6 of 14
distance, and the employee is not required to remain in the airport, the entire four
hours may not be compensable. If the employee is required to remain in the airport
for the entire delay, regardless of its length, the time is compensable.
8) Work
Work is defined as the commonly understood productive employee time.
9) Work Site
Work site is the location where the employee begins work, as assigned by the
employer. For example, if an employee is directed to report to a local convention
center to attend training, the convention center is a worksite.
D. PER DIEM
1) The Borough will pay per diem for meal allowance rates only, not for incidentals.
2) The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA, gsa.gov) establishes the per diem
reimbursement rates that federal agencies use to reimburse their employees for
subsistence expenses incurred while on official travel within the continental U.S. (CONUS),
which includes the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia.
3) The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) establishes rates for travel in non-foreign areas
outside of CONUS, which includes Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. Territories. The U.S. Department
of State establishes rates for travel in foreign areas. For more information on rates
established by DOD and the State Department
visit www.defensetravel.dod.mil and aoprals.state.gov.
4) Day travel, meaning traveling during regular working hours, is not eligible for per diem.
5) First and Last Day of Travel - On the day of departure from a work site and on the day of
return, a traveler receives 75% of the applicable meal rates regardless of departure or
return time.
E. PROCEDURE
1) Approval of Travel Time
Prior to traveling, a Travel Authorization form must be completed with pre-travel approval
signatures and submitted to Finance. A copy of the Travel Authorization will be returned to
the employee to complete post-travel section and to be resubmitted with post-travel
documents, with actual expenses documented and approval signatures.
No personal travel will be appended before or after Borough paid travel arrangements.
All travel, including day travel, requiring transportation in something other than an
automobile (like plane or vessel), requires an approved Travel Authorization form in order
to be covered under the Borough’s travel insurance policy.
2) Payment of Travel
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Consideration And Discussion To Change The Travel Policy
Page 7 of 14
The Borough is responsible for purchasing lodging and transportation for those traveling for
Borough business and those expenses should not be paid for by the traveler. The Borough
will reimburse for local transportation such as ride share services (Uber, Lyft, taxi or other
public transportation) with receipts. Efforts to minimize cost of travel should be made and
at no time will first class air travel, gourmet meals, alcoholic beverages, part expenses,
plush hotel suites etc., be paid for or reimbursed by the Borough.
3) Calculating and Reporting Travel Time
Employees are responsible for accurately tracking, calculating and reporting travel time
on their timesheet(s) and the travel questionnaire (if applicable) in accordance with this
policy.
Meal periods should be deducted from all travel time.
If an employee requests a specific travel itinerary or mode that is different from the
one authorized, only the estimated travel time associated with the authorized
schedule, route and mode of transportation should be reported on the timesheet.
Travel time should be calculated by rounding up to the nearest quarter hour.

1114 TRAVEL
Employees who are traveling out of town on official business will be reimbursed for reasonable
expenses by the Borough. The Borough will provide for and/or reimburse the employee for
transportation costs. Transportation will normally be by air and supplemented by such ground or
water transportation as is necessary. All other costs incidental to such travel, and of a normal and
necessary nature will be reimbursed. Such expenses would include hotel rooms, auto rental or ride
fare, and telephone. Employees will be paid a per diem for meals equal to the amount listed in the
current US Government Services Administration (GSA) agency schedule. It should be noted that for
non-contiguous states (Alaska and Hawaii) the GSA uses the Department of Defense Rates. These
rates can be found on the Federal Government web site at http://www.gsa.gov. The federal
government regulations also specify that on the first and last day of travel, per diem will be 75% of
the daily rate. When an employee is on official business not requiring an overnight stay, per diem
will be 75% of the daily rate.
All employees on official travel are expected to make every effort to minimize the cost of travel.
Examples of costs that will not normally be reimbursed are: first class air travel, gourmet meals,
alcoholic beverages, party expenses, plush hotel suites, etc. Before embarking on any travel and prior
to submitting travel-related check requests or purchase orders, employees must submit a Travel
Authorization Form.
Hotel rooms will generally be reserved and paid using the purchase order system. Reimbursement
may be requested for hotel rooms with proper receipt submittal. An advance for per diem can be
requested prior to travel.
1115 STRANDED WHILE ON BOROUGH TRAVEL
If due to inclement weather or other adverse conditions, employees traveling on Borough business
become stranded away from their Kodiak office location the following will apply:
A)The employee will not suffer a reduction in wages or benefits as a result of being unable to
return to his/her principal work location.
B)The employee will be provided with room, per diem as outlined in Section 1114 above, and
necessary transportation at the Borough's expense. Revised May, 2022 per ordinance number
FY2022-09 51
C)The Borough will reimburse the employee for any other reasonable, necessary expenses they
would not normally have incurred had they been in Kodiak. An example of such an expense
would be reimbursement for any childcare expenses that might result from the employee
being stranded away from Kodiak.
The above will not be reimbursable if an employee has extended his/her travel time in any way for
personal reasons and becomes stranded due to taking a later flight than would have been required
when the Borough business was completed.

RE: Managers Report, April 13, 2023
Manager’s Department
Joint Work Session KIBSD/KIB – Meeting was conducted with direct conversation specific to
the KIBSD request for funding for the next fiscal year. Assembly has requested that the actual
formal request submission be delayed in an attempt to potentially have a better grasp as to the
actions of the legislature and governor’s office associated with the state budget process.

Please be aware, market increases effect properties Borough wide, but improvement updates are
area specific unless it is a building permit, complaint or owner request.
The Senate just passed SB77. The article attached will describe that it will now be up to local
municipalities to decide whether or not to give new commercial development a tax break for a
period of time and whether or not the municipality wants to define the term “blithe” for
properties so that Assessing could add a taxable “penalty” that the owner would have to pay.
