From kathryn.ross at state.or.us Thu Feb 17 08:17:31 2011 From: kathryn.ross at state.or.us (ROSS Kathryn * SCD SARS) Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:17:31 -0800 Subject: [Travel_Policy-News] Travel Awards and Other Changes Message-ID: <8A8CF693A3BB294DB354A999D49CF8180B187AEB@exchnode01.ad.state.or.us> I have had some trouble sending messages via the Travel Policy News List, but was able to get help from the State Library yesterday. I am resending the message below regarding the reporting of travel awards. In addition, until we hire Scott Smyth's replacement, please send your travel questions to my attention. Thanks, Kathy ________________________________ Hello Travel Coordinators, This is a reminder that April 1 is the deadline for submitting your agency's report on Travel Awards for calendar year 2010. This report must include a detailed list of the specific travel awards earned during the year and the specific travel awards used during the year. The report should also provide the approximate dollar value of the travel awards that were used or redeemed. The dollar value of the travel awards used or redeemed is considered the total cost savings to the agency. Also, unless specifically exempted by statute, the awards reporting applies to agencies of the state as defined in ORS 291.002. http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/291.html The report may be in a letter format and must be signed by the Agency Head. Your agency must submit a report whether or not travel awards were earned or redeemed. OAM 40.10.00.PO, Statewide Travel Policy, http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/SCD/SARS/policies/oam/40.10.00.PO.pdf, describes the reporting requirements contained in ORS 292.230. Thank you to the agencies that plan to submit their reports early!
