and meetings related to the City' s interests and/ or business. As to Appointed Officials on
the Administrative Appeals Board, Design Review Board, Economic Development
Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, and Police Crime
Prevention Commission, and other boards or committees established by the City Council
there may be opportunities for individuals to attend educational seminars or meetings related
to the City' s interests and/ or business as approved by the City Council. Therefore, this policy
establishes procedures for requesting and receiving payment for expenses incurred while
representing the City on official business.
ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION
The Council is responsible for adopting the expense and reimbursement policy for Elected
and Appointed Officials and for approving any subsequent policy revisions.
EXCEPTIONS
The City Council may approve exceptions to this policy on a case- by- case basis for special
or unique circumstances.

performing their duties, a
monthly vehicle will be
provided, as allowed
allowance
pursuant to California Government Code section 1223. Vehicle allowance shall cover
all vehicle related expenses including but not limited to bridge tolls, routine parking fees,

officials receiving a monthly vehicle allowance shall be eligible for mileage
reimbursement for travel beyond a 75- mile radius from the City of Antioch City Hall

II. COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES

management employees, reimbursement of communication equipment shall be allowed for
cell phone service and equipment, internet service and equipment, local and long distance
telephone and fax line service and equipment. Individual council members and other elected
and appointed officials will be responsible for establishing their own communication service
providers and all bills for such service will be paid by the individual. The monthly cap on
reimbursement of communication equipment and services shall be as follows: Mayor
100; Council Members $ 50; City Clerk $ 50; City Treasurer $ 50. Any communication
service expenditures beyond that amount will be borne by the individual elected official.

approved in advance by the City Council.
IV. LOCAL CITY EVENTS
Elected City Officials may be reimbursed for the cost of attending local events related to the
City' s business upon completion of an expense report and detailed documentation of
expenses. City funds shall not be used to purchase alcohol or reimburse Elected Officials
for alcohol related costs, unless as part of a set price for the event that happens to include

be reimbursed. All reimbursement requests must include original itemized receipts and
information on local city events attended.
V. CONFERENCES

shall review the conference request at a regularly scheduled meeting and decide, through
City Council action if attendance to any such conference is approved.

VI. TRAVEL
In recognition of the fact that Elected Officials may need to represent the City at conferences
and meetings and may incur expenses in the course of their travel, this policy establishes
procedures for requesting and receiving payment for travel and travel- related expenditures.
A) PROCEDURE
The key document in the administrative process is the Travel Authorization/ Warrant Request
TA/ WR). Besides ensuring that travel by Elected and Appointed Officials is conducted
within this policy, the TA/ WR summarizes the total cost of attending conferences, meetings,
and seminars and provides documentation for cash advances, vendor payments and
credit card purchases. General instructions for completing and processing this form are
provided in a separate document.
B) AUTHORIZATION PROCESSS
During the budget process, the City Council shall appropriate a budget allotment for
each Council Members travel. If a Council Member exceeds their budget allotment or the
Council Member is requesting travel outside of the continental United States, the City
Council shall decide, through City Council action if attendance to any conference is
approved.
After travel, the Travel Authorization report must be finalized. Finance will review
for receipts and policy compliance.
C) METHODS OF REIMBURSEMENT
There are three ways to request and receive payment for travel and travel-
related expenditures: ( 1) advance payment, ( 2) reimbursement for actual expenditures,
and ( 3) credit card usage.
1)
Advance payments: Elected Officials may request a cash advance for
meals. For advance payment, the request must be submitted to the Finance Department

3
EXHIBIT A

or conference announcement as proof of official City business trip. The advance will be
within the IRS approved per diem rates for meals and incidental expenses ( M& IE) for the
location/ area visited as listed in Publication 1542. The value of meals provided at
conferences,
training, or other travel programs will be deducted from the cash advance at
the following rate:
Breakfast - 20% Lunch - 30% Dinner - 50%
Other items, such as conference registration, lodging, and air fare may be paid
directly to the vendor in advance of travel.
Upon return from travel, all cash advances must be documented with original
itemized receipts.
2) Reimbursement: Elected and Appointed Officials shall be
reimbursed for all eligible expenditures upon return from travel for items that have original
receipts. A Travel Authorization/ Warrant Request with original receipts will be paid by
Finance within the regular accounts payable time schedule. Reimbursement claims
should be submitted within 30 days from the return from travel, and no reimbursements may
be made that cross over fiscal years.
3) Credit Card Usage: Elected and Appointed Officials may use personal
111 credit cards to pay for travel expenses. Original receipts must be included with the Travel
Authorization Warrant Request to be eligible for reimbursement.
D) ELIGIBLE EXPENDITURES
Meals and Incidental Expenses ( M & IE)
Meals: City funds shall not be used to purchase alcohol or reimburse
Elected or Appointed Officials for alcohol related costs. Meal costs will be reimbursed
as supported by original itemized receipts.

participants and the business purpose of the discussion must be substantiated.
Incidental Expenses: Those related to City business will be
reimbursed at cost as supported by original receipts ( e.

4
EXHIBIT A
March 24, 2020
Officials during official travel requiring one or more overnight stays. The City will pay for
lodging for the evening preceding or subsequent to a meeting or business event when the
Elected or Appointed Official would have to travel at unreasonably early or late hours to
reach his or her destination.
Elected or Appointed Officials shall make an effort to obtain lodging at or near the facility
where official City business is to take place to minimize travel time and transportation
costs. The City will pay only for standard single rooms for individual Elected Officials. If
lodging is in connection with a conference, lodging expenses must not exceed the group rate
published by the conference sponsor. If conference rates are not available, government
rates must be requested.
Lodging rates that are equal to or less than the government
rates are presumed to be reasonable and hence reimbursable for purposes of this
policy.
If a double room is requested by an Elected or Appointed Official because he or she is
accompanied by a spouse or other person, the difference between the single and double
room rate shall be considered the Elected or Appointed Official' s personal expense.
Elected or Appointed Officials shall cancel any reservations for lodging they will not use.
Any charge for an unused reservation shall be considered the Elected or Appointed Official' s
personal expense unless failure to cancel the reservation was due to circumstances beyond
the Elected Official' s control.
Personal Entertainment: No reimbursement will be made for personal
entertainment.
Guests: If a guest accompanies an Elected or Appointed Official, only the
cost of the Elected or Appointed Official will be reimbursed. All costs above a single person
will be borne by the Elected or Appointed Official.
Discounts: If offered early registrations should be obtained whenever
possible.
Telephone/ Internet: The City will pay for all City- related business
telephone calls or internet use by an Elected or Appointed Official while traveling on
authorized City business. If approved prior to travel, the City may pay for personal internet
use up to $ 5. 00 per day for authorized overnight business travel within California and up to
10. 00 per day for all other authorized overnight business travel.
Transportation: All travel will be made by the method most cost
effective for the
City. Considerations such as time, distance traveled and cost of
transportation should be factors in arriving at the lowest cost.
Elected and Appointed Officials shall endeavor to book air travel to take advantage of
discounts and nonrefundable ticket fares where practical. All flights shall be booked at
coach class or equivalent level. Any additional costs incurred due to personal travel
added on before or after the trip will be paid by the Elected or Appointed Official.

paid for from monthly stipend. If a personal vehicle is left at the airport for more than
one day, parking will be reimbursed per day based on long term parking rates or other
transportation to and from the airport, whichever is less. Parking will not be reimbursed
at the short term parking rate.
The use of rental vehicles is discouraged and shall be authorized only when no other
mode of transportation is available or when alternate transportation would be more
expensive or impractical. Elected or Appointed Officials must understand that the City' s
vehicle insurance coverage does not cover the individual driver of a rental car.
Therefore, the City Official shall confirm personal coverage under their personal
insurance or purchase additional insurance from the rental agency at their own
expense. Rental vehicles shall be driven only by Elected or Appointed Officials included
on the car rental agreement. Elected or Appointed Officials shall be reimbursed for
reasonable taxi fare, airport van, or other public transportation in order to travel from
their destination airport to their hotel.
VII. REPORTING OF EXPENDITURES
If the City reimburses an Elected or Appointed Official for attending a "
meeting" as
defined under the Brown Act , the Official shall provide a brief written or oral report
regarding the " meeting" at the next regular
meeting of the Council or applicable
commission, board or committee to which the Official belongs. For other educational
seminars or events for which expenses were reimbursed by the City, the Official may
provide a brief written or oral report at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the
Council or applicable commission, board or committee to which the Official belongs.
VIII. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
After being sworn in, Elected or Appointed Officials will be required to sign a statement
formally acknowledging receipt and acceptance of this policy.
The Brown Act( California Government Code section 54952. 2) defines a meeting as including " any congregation
of majority of the members of a legislative body at the same time and place to hear, discuss, or deliberate upon any
item that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body or the local agency to which it pertains."

TO: Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Antioch Police
Oversight Commission
SUBMITTED BY: Derek Cole, Interim City Attorney
SUBJECT: Action Item: Recommendation for Removal of a Commissioner Due
to Excessive Unexcused Absences
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the Antioch Police Oversight Commission consider the
recommendation to the City Council whether a Commissioner should be removed from
the Commission due to excessive unexcused absences.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for this item.
DISCUSSION
It has been reported that Commissioner Hadden has missed more than three Commission
meetings within the past 12 months. These absences were reported to be unexcused.
Following a request to this office, the office presents this report to provide the Commission
the opportunity to consider whether to recommend removal from the Commission.
Antioch Municipal Code section 4-3.104 allows the Commission to recommend the
removal of a commissioner who, among other grounds, has “[t]hree unexcused absences
from at least three meetings in a one-year span of time.” (Antioch Mun. Code sec. 4-
3.104(D)(4).)
It is within the Commission’s discretion to make this recommendation. This office makes
no recommendation for or against the proposed action.
If the Commission votes to recommend removal, this recommendation will be presented
to the City Council for its consideration and potential action. The Council would consider
the recommendation under Antioch Municipal Code section 2-5.205. Removal would
ultimately be within the Council’s discretion and would require a majority vote of the
Council.
