IN RE: REVISION OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY TRAVEL REGULATIONS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Deregulation of the airline industry has resulted in a plethora
of promotional travel plans that result in substantial cost savings to the
traveler; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Travel Regulations require minor revisions to
ensure that any financial savings derived from such travel promotions accrues
to the benefit of the County.

County Travel Regulations be revised as follows:
Public Carrier
A. Arrangements - If travel is to be by public carrier, the traveler will
make necessary transportation arrangements through the Purchasing
Division on Request for Travel Approval and Cash Advance form #MB-1

make all travel arrangements at the least possible cost while, at the
same time, accom-oda-rg the routing and scheduling requirements of
the traveler.
B. Transportation Expense - The expense of traveling by public carrier
will be allowed on the basis of actual cost. All travelers are ex-
pected to travel by the most economical mode of transportation. Any
financial benefit derived from discount fares (i.e., super savers, ex-
cursion rates, extended travel, package deals, inclusion of ground
transportation, etc.) for County employees shall accrue to the Countj.
The Purchasing Division will explore all currentl,:i available travel
options and co'nmunieate those options to the prospective traveler for
his or her selection. Additional lodging or transport ation expense

travel expense. In the event extended travel time is necessary to
