Where the educational function requires overnight accommodations, the city shall pay the cost of reasonable housing accommodations and for three meals on each day of the educational function, plus two meals on each day of travel to and from the function.
If the educational function does not require overnight accommodations, then the city shall pay for one meal on the day of the function or such other number of meals that may be offered as part of the educational function. (Ord. 1019 § 2, 1981).

If the city official/employee uses his own motor vehicle for transportation to the educational function, the city shall reimburse said person for travel expenses at the standard federal IRS mileage rate to and from said function.
If, in the opinion of the mayor, it would be less expensive to the city for the official/employee to travel by public transportation, he may authorize the official to utilize said alternate means of transportation and the city shall purchase the tickets for the same.
If the mayor does not authorize the alternate means of public transportation, the city official/employee may utilize said alternate means but the city shall only reimburse the official/employee the same amount the city would have reimbursed him if he had driven his own motor vehicle.
