Sue,
I tried to respond directly to the list-serv but it would not allow me (said I was not authorized). Could you post my answer to Susan’s question (see below) back out to the list-serv?

Susan,
In Oklahoma most all of the travel of our county agents is paid directly by their County. We do require the county-paid travel claims to abide by our university’s P&P, unless the County’s is more restrictive (for example, some of the Counties only reimburse actual meals up to the per diem amount & require receipts, rather than just reimburse the flat per diem rate). The University rules abide by our Office of State Finance regulations for travel and the Counties do/are supposed to too, so we pretty much follow the same set of rules. However, some of the Counties/County Clerks do not seem as informed about all the regulations (can I put that in all caps!?!), and since it is university extension personnel doing the traveling my office audits all of those county-paid travel claims after the fact. Any mistakes, overages, underages are taken care of on subsequent travel claims.

Good morning friends,
I need your help in compiling some info about travel regulations for county extension agents/educators please.
When agents are traveling on county funds, do you require them to abide by your University’s travel regulations?
Thanks,
Susan
