AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
IAEM is the largest and most influential association of Emergency Manager in the Nation and each years hosts a large conference for emergency managers nationwide. This conference provides many educational sessions relating to emergency management. OES has no record of ever having representation at this conference and request approval to attend and represent San Benito County.
The expense for this travel is grant funded and has no impact on the general fund. Given the variations in travel prices including airfare and hotels, OES requests up to $2,200 to attend the IAEM conference. Actual estimate of cost is approximately $1,700 which includes Registration ($675), airfare ($700), and per diem for 5 days ($290). $500 added to account for potential increases in travel costs.
BUDGETED:
Yes
