May 19, 2025 Meeting
ITEM 5. REGULAR AGENDA
NEW BUSINESS
a. In accordance with the Texas Tax Code Section 351.101.c, it is necessary for the City to
review and accept the quarterly Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund financial report from the
Nederland Chamber of Commerce. Attached is the Chamber’s report for the 2025 1st Quarter
(January 1st – March 31st). Expenditures exceeds revenue by $2,791.08. I recommend
acceptance of the quarterly report.
b. Attached is proposed work authorization with Schaumburg & Polk, Inc. (SPI) for the 2025
City-Wide Sanitary Sewer System Study-to include sections of the City other than the
Western section. At the April 14, 2025 City Council meeting, SPI submitted a final report on
the 2024 Wastewater System amended Study-Western Section. At the meeting that the final
Wastewater System amended Study-Western Section was presented, City Council directed
SPI representative to prepare a 2025 City-Wide Sanitary Sewer System Study to cover the
remaining portions of the City. The study will include physical inspection of manholes,
smoke testing of sanitary sewer mains, flow monitoring at selected locations and hydraulic
analysis of twelve inch (12”) mains and larger in diameter. SPI will provide a weekly
progress report which will include a list of manholes that were not accessible for inspection.
The Public Works Director will work with City crews and contractor to provide access to
manholes. SPI will have two (2) three (3) person crews performing the inspections within
the City. Smoke Testing and Manhole Inspection Field Work: Weeks 1-13 (completion of
smoke testing is heavily dependent on dry ground conditions), Flow Monitoring: Weeks 14-
25 (Flow monitoring will occur in the fall months to capture rain events), Hydraulic
Analysis: Weeks 26-35, Final Report: Weeks 35-45. Costs breakdown is: Smoke Testing
and Manhole Inspections: $514,100, Flow Monitoring $160,400, Hydraulic Analysis:
$88,200 and Final Report $43,200 for a total cost of $805,900. The funds for this project
would come from the SSES (Sanitary Sewer Evaluation System Fund) and the 2018
Wastewater Bond Fund. Staff recommends approval based upon City Council’s direction
from the April 14, 2025 council meeting.
c. Attached is proposed Ordinance 2025-09, amending the fiscal year 2024-2025 budget. The
current approved budget for Mayor and City Council was approved September 9, 2024 prior
to the election of Mayor, Councilman Ward II and Councilman Ward IV. There are
insufficient budgeted funds in both Training and Travel and Telephone line items to allow
members of the City Council to attend training and provide necessary phones for City
business. I recommend approval of this item.
d. Attached is proposed Resolution 2025-08, adopting the Travel and Subsistence Policy and
amending the Personnel Policy to remove the Travel and Subsistence Policy provisions from
the Personnel Policy. The Travel and Subsistence Policy hasn’t been updated with current
rates for travel related expenses in over 18 years. The attached policy will allow for
reimbursement of expenses utilizing the General Services Administration (GSA), a US
government agency. I recommend approval of this item.
e.At the April 14, 2025 City Council meeting an item to discuss and take possible action to
approve Resolution 2025-03, authorizing the publication of the notice of intent for
Certificates of Obligation to finance wastewater system improvements and other water or
sewer infrastructure improvements was tabled.
f.At the April 14, 2025 City Council meeting an item to discuss and take possible action to
approve Resolution 2025-04, declaring official intent to reimburse expenditures related to the
2025 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation – Western Section project was tabled.
g.At the April 14, 2025 City Council meeting an item to discuss and take possible action
approving a work authorization with Schaumburg & Polk, Inc. for the 2025 Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation – Western Section project was tabled.

Exhibit “A”
CITY OF NEDERLAND
TRAVEL AND SUBSISTENCE POLICY
I. GENERAL POLICY
The policy of the City of Nederland (CITY) is that employees are to be fully reimbursed for
necessary and reasonable job-related expenses incurred in the authorized conduct of CITY
business. These purposes include employee training/conferences; accomplishment of a
specific CITY business-related purpose; solution of a CITY-related problem; exchange of
ideas; and other matters related to CITY business and the improvement of the CITY. Every
three years, the City Manager will review the implementation of this Policy and provide
policy interpretations and assistance to ensure effective and efficient implementation.
All travel expenses are subject to the requirements of documentation and
reasonableness, as set forth in this Policy, provided that the travel was properly
authorized and that funds are available in the CITY’S budget. The CITY, at its discretion,
may prepay such expenses as registration fees, hotel costs, airfare, etc. directly to the entity
involved.
While this policy does not cover every possible situation, it establishes adequate
guidelines for employees and officials to make appropriate and consistent judgments
regarding the expenditure of CITY funds for reimbursable expenses. Please note the CITY
will provide flexibility to meet the special needs and requirements of their employees
during travel. It remains the responsibility of city management to control and approve
travel-related expenditures. Any exceptions will be subject to approval by the City
Manager. The City Manager may also, on a case-by case basis, approve reimbursements
exceeding the guideline amounts referenced in this policy. In such instance, a detailed
explanation and substantiation (a receipt) is required.
II. APPLICATION
This policy shall apply to all CITY employees and officers. Travel and training costs shall
only be paid for CITY employees and officers; any costs resulting from the travel and/or
training of family members or other persons not employed by the CITY shall be borne by
the employee or officer. An employee or officer, whose family member(s) will attend the
training/conference with the employee or officer, shall be required to pay the CITY prior
to any expenses being incurred by the CITY. Employees shall provide their supervisor with
a copy of their itinerary before leaving on business travel.
III. REQUEST PROCEDURE
At least ten (10) working days prior to the date of departure, a Request for Travel Voucher
(RTV) shall be submitted to the City Manager or his designee for approval or disapproval if
no advance registration or air travel is required. In the event that discounts are available
either for registration or air travel, the RTV shall be submitted, whenever possible, in a
manner so as to receive the greatest discount.
2 | P a g e
Exhibit “A”
The Request for Travel Voucher shall identify the purpose of the trip, any anticipated
expenses in accordance with this Policy, and the department and account number for the
expenditure. Attached to the voucher shall be a copy of any brochures, correspondence,
or other pertinent information which elaborate on the purpose of the request. Each
employee or officer shall submit an individual RTV. If the RTV is approved by the City
Manager or his designee, a travel advance sufficient to cover anticipated costs, as defined
by this Policy, shall be provided to the traveling employee or officer.
IV. TRAVEL AND EXPENSE SUMMARY
Within five (5) working days of returning to the CITY, each employee or officer shall
submit a completed Travel and Expense Summary to the Finance Director. This document
shall include all requested information with supporting documentation, agenda for
conference or training, and receipts attached.
Supporting documentation/receipts shall include itemized original receipts indicating the
amount, date, location, and nature of the expense. All expenditures for which a receipt is
normally issued shall be supported by such documentation. Should an employee or
officer require such documents for their personal use, they shall make copies prior to
submitting the originals. If other than original receipts are submitted, a written statement
attesting to the accuracy of the submission must be approved by the employee’s
department head.
V. CASH ADVANCE
Employees and officers may receive a cash advance for such items as food, mileage, lodging,
travel, etc., as defined in this Policy, when those expenses have not been prepaid or other
arrangements made for the payment of these expenditures. Any cash advance shall
require proper supporting documentation/receipts upon return to the CITY. Should an
employee or officer not expend all funds provided by the cash advance as reflected by
supporting documentation/receipts, unspent funds may be returned to the CITY
depending upon the purpose of the cash advance.
VI. PREPAID EXPENSES
a) Registration. Whenever possible, the CITY shall prepay registration expenses for
meetings, conferences, or seminars via the submission of a Request for Travel Voucher
in accordance with Section III. This Voucher shall be submitted, whenever possible, in
sufficient time to receive the lowest possible registration fee for the event. Should
prepayment of registration fees not be possible, the employee or officer shall receive
a cash advance in the exact amount of the registration fees.
b) Airfare. Whenever possible, the CITY shall prepay and obtain airline tickets.
Employees and officers shall submit a Travel Report Voucher a minimum of twenty-
five (25) days prior to the departure date, whenever possible, to allow for the lowest
possible airfare. The CITY shall obtain airline tickets for coach or tourist class airline
fares. Only in emergency situations, or when less than first class tickets are
3 | P a g e
Exhibit “A”
unavailable, shall the City Manager consider approving the purchase of other fares.
Should prepayment and the obtaining of airline tickets by the CITY not be possible,
airfare shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section VII.d.
VII. ALLOWABLE EXPENSES
a) Personal automobile. If an elected official or an employee on City-authorized travel
(“traveler”) drives that person’s own Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) on the City travel
outside the City, the City shall reimburse the traveler at the current mileage rate
authorized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The amount permitted for mileage to
a particular destination shall be determined in accordance with the rate established
annually by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) based upon distance documentation as
provided in maps, handbooks, etc. All employees utilizing their personal automobile
for attendance at a CITY-related conference shall have a valid driver's license and
personal automobile liability insurance. When two (2) or more employees travel in a
single automobile, only one (1) employee shall receive mileage or other automobile
reimbursement.
b) City Vehicle. Employees who travel in CITY-owned vehicles shall be reimbursed for
the actual cost of fuel, oil, or other related expenditures necessary for the safe
operation of the vehicle when substantiated by proper supporting
documentation/receipts.
c) Vehicle Parking, Storage, and Tolls. Expenses for vehicle storage, parking, and/or tolls
are reimbursable subject to the submission of supporting documents/receipts. Valet
parking shall not be reimbursed unless the employee/official documents the need for
such accommodation.
d) Airfare. Employees or officers shall be reimbursed for coach or tourist class airfare in
the event that this is not a prepaid expenditure. All travel will be by the most
economical and direct routes.
e) Automobile rental. In the event that an employee or officer utilizes a rental automobile,
the CITY will not provide reimbursement for a vehicle classified higher than
"intermediate" or "mid-size" unless the employee or officer is able to justify the need
for a larger vehicle.
1. If commercially renting a vehicle is more advantageous to the City than POV
mileage, the traveler shall prepare a comparative cost showing the costs for rental
and POV. The City shall reimburse at the lower rate.
2. Advance reservations for rental automobiles shall be made by the CITY prior to the
travel so as to ensure the lowest possible rate.
3. Reimbursement will be provided for rental of the automobile and fuel costs with

taxi, shuttle bus, etc.
g) Lodging. Whenever possible, the CITY shall arrange accommodations directly with a
hotel or motel. Reimbursement for room expenses shall be based upon actual

In the event that preregistration is not possible, the employee or officer may be issued
a cash advance in the exact amount of the registration expense; upon return, proper
supporting documentation/receipt shall be submitted to the CITY verifying this
expenditure. Should registration fees not be prepaid or a cash advance not requested,
the employee or officer shall be reimbursed for the cost of registration as
substantiated by supporting documentation/receipts. Reimbursable registration fees
shall include only the employee or officer.
i) Meals. The City shall reimburse Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) at a rate not
greater than the rates published by GSA for the county to which City-authorized travel is
taken, in accordance with the following provision:
1. For attendance at out-of-town conference/seminars requiring more than a single
day, employees and officers will usually be provided with a cash advance of the
current GSA rates, or as subsequently amended by the City Council. Upon return,
any unspent monies, due to the prepayment of meals as a part of registration

reimbursement under the CITY's medical insurance coverage or worker's compensation in
accordance with the provisions of these plans.
X. COMPENSABLE TRAVEL TIME
In accordance with the Portal-to-Portal Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act established
by the Department of Labor, it is the intent of the City of Nederland to clarify
6 | P a g e
Exhibit “A”
compensable travel time guidelines for CITY employees. The principles which apply in
determining whether or not time spent in travel is work time depend upon the situation
and the kind of travel involved:
a) Home to work; ordinary situation; daily commute
Time spent traveling to and from the actual place of performance of the principal
activity which such employee is employed to perform is not compensable travel time.
An employee who travels from home before his regular workday and returns to his
home at the end of the workday is engaged in ordinary home to work travel which is a
normal incident of employment and therefore the regular daily commute to and from
work is not considered compensable work time.
b) Home to work in emergency situations
There may be instances when travel from home to work is work time. For example, if
an employee who has gone home after completing his day’s work is subsequently called
out at night to perform an emergency job, all time spent on such travel is working time.
c) Home to work on special one day assignment in another city
An employee who regularly works at a fixed location may be given a special one day
assignment in another city. Travel to another city cannot be regarded as ordinary home-
to-work travel if it was performed for the employer’s benefit to meet the needs of the
particular and unusual assignment. However, the amount of time it takes for the
employee’s normal everyday commute and meal time may be deducted and not
counted as work time.
d) Travel that is all in a day’s work
Time spent by an employee in travel as part of his principal activity, such as travel
from job site to job site during the workday, must be counted as hours worked.
Where an employee is required to report at a meeting place to receive instructions or
to perform other work there, or to pick up and to carry tools, the travel from the
designated place to the work place is part of the day’s work, and must be counted as
hours worked regardless of contract, custom, or practice.
e) Overnight travel out-of-town
Travel that keeps an employee away from home overnight can be compensable work
time but a few rules do apply. All hours spent traveling on the same day of the
assignment are compensable work hours. The travel time is not only hours worked on
regular working days but also during the corresponding hours of non-working days.
Thus, if an employee regularly works 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, time
spent traveling during these hours is work time on Saturday and Sunday as well. The
DOL has created some disparities in how the out-of-town travel is compensated.
7 | P a g e
Exhibit “A”
Employees traveling on the same day of the assignment are paid for all the time spent
traveling. By contrast, employees traveling the day before the work assignment are
paid only for the travel time that occurs during their regular hours of work.
f) Travel time as a passenger
Occasionally more than one employee may be traveling to the same project or event
out of town together. Any time spent traveling as a passenger on normal working
days during regular working hours are considered hours worked and are compensable.
Any time spent traveling as a passenger outside of regular working hours and and/or
on non-working days are not considered hours.
XI. EXCEPTIONS
Travel and/or moving expenses involving applicants or new employees may be
reimbursed by approval of the City Manager or his designee. The approval of these types
of expenses shall be determined on a case-by-case basis and shall be approved in
advance. Any exceptions will be subject to approval by the City Manager. The City Manager
may also, on a case-by case basis, approve reimbursements exceeding the guideline
amounts referenced in this policy. In such instance, a detailed, written explanation and
substantiation (a receipt) is required. This policy overrides the Travel and Subsistence policy
found in the City Personnel Policy and any other conflicting SOPs, policies, etc.
XII. Deviations to this policy may only be approved by the City Council.
