Advance Travel Expense Revolving Fund of $2,ooo for non-local travel. Up to $500 may be
requested by an employee for customary and incidental expenses incurred while traveling,
such as lodging, meals, ground transportation, and other non-local expense. Employees are
required to provided receipts and documentation that expenses were incurred.
Currently the City Clerk administers the Advance Travel Expense Revolving Fund. After
speaking to several jurisdictions, it was apparent that Advance Travel usage is fading out;
and for those jurisdictions still maintaining Advance Travel accounts they fall under the
direction of their Finance Department.
The City has implemented Advance Travel procedures authorized in the Port Orchard
Municipal Code 3.08 and ·in the Personnel Polices Manual Chapter g.8.1. State of
Washington RCW42.24.120-16o provides authority to establish the fund and requires
compliance with the State Budgeting, Account, and Report System (BARS).

This Ordinance will move the management and responsibility of the Advance Travel
Expense Revolving Fund to the Treasurer, whose responsibilities are the management of
City funds. This change recognizes the accounting function required to manage the account
rather than the clerical aspects more properly assigned to the City Clerk.
Councilmember Clauson MOVED and Councilmember Colebank seconded the
motion to adopt Ordinance No. 010-12, amending Port Orchard Municipal
Code Chapter 3.08 regarding the Advance Travel Expense Revolving Fund.
Upon vote, the motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Powers was
absent.
C. Approval of Contract No. 038-12, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an
Agreement with Pace Engineers, Inc. for the Stormwater Mapping in the
Right-of-Way
Public Works Director Dorsey presented the staff report, noting in December of last year,
the City received a letter from the Washington State Department of Ecology offering
additional funding for the City's municipal stormwater system as an extension of the grant
the City previously received. In February, the City received the agreement forms for this
grant. The funding is a grant, with no match required, which the City may use to meet
compliance with the City's Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permit. Staff previously used the grant money to buy equipment for the shop and
is requesting to use this funding primarily for mapping to provide map books for staff to use
when in the field. The other boxes that have been checked are establishing and refining
stormwater utilities, including stable rate structures, pollution prevention, good
housekeeping, and operation and maintenance program activities, and equipment
purchases that result directly in improved compliance with permit requirements.
Councilmember Childs MOVED and Councilmember Lucarelli seconded the
motion to authorize the Mayor to sign Grant Agreement No. G1200364
