Rule 691-42.002(3), Florida Administrative Code, defines the term conference as: [T]he coming together of person's with a common interest or interests for the purpose of deliberation, interchange of views, or for the removal of differences or disputes and for discussion of their common problems and interests. The term also includes similar meetings such as seminars and workshops which are large formal group meetings that are programmed and supervised to accomplish intensive research, study, discussion and work in some specific field or on a governmental problem or problems. A conference does not mean the coming together of agency or interagency personnel. This Agreement requires the Recipient to attend Current Issues in Emergency Management ("CIEM"), a meeting hosted by the Division. In order for travel to a conference or convention to qualify for reimbursement, the cost must be reasonable and attendance at the conference must be necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement. Provided the cost qualifies as reasonable and necessary for the successful completion of a task required by this Agreement, travel to a conference that complies with the requirements of Rule 691-42.004, Florida Administrative Code, satisfies the minimum level of service for conference travel under this Agreement. In pertinent part, Rule 691-42.004(1), Florida Administrative Code, states "No public funds shall be expended for attendance at conferences or conventions unless: • The main purpose of the conference or convention is in connection with the official business of the state and directly related to the performance of the statutory duties and responsibilities of the agency participating; 30
