Nelson, County Administrator SUBJECT: Delegation of Travel Permission My office has researched the Florida Statutes for determination of authority to allow budgeted authorized employee travel. 1. Paragraph 112.061 (2) (A) specifies the County as a legal agency of the state. 2. Paragraph 112.061 (2) (B) specifies the agency head as the highest policy-making authority of a public authority or, in our case, the Board of County Commissioners. 3. Paragraph 112.061 (3) (A) specifies, "All travel must be authorized and approved by the head of the agency, or his designated representative, from whose funds the traveler is paid." The sub -paragraph continues, "In every instance, prior to the approval, the head of the agency may request a signed statement by the traveler's supervisor, stating that such travel is on the official business of the state and also stating the purpose of such travel." Based on the above information, I request the following action by the Board of County Commissioners: As the designated representative of the Board, allow me to authorize official travel of career classification personnel of the County with the following provisions: 1. Appropriate explanation of the travel, signed by me, appears on the travel voucher. 2. The Board shall be notified of request approvals at the next scheduled Board of County Commissioner's meeting after said travel has been performed. Nei A.
