Planning Meals,
Refreshments, and Receptions:
Contact Katie Bamburg before
arrangements are made so that a Blanket Prior Approval can be established with
the following information:
- Dates, times, and
location of event (and flier if available)
- Guest list (including names, titles, and affiliations of ALL attendees)
- Business related nature/purpose of the event
Failure to get Prior Approval
can result in incurring expenses that are un-allowable, and hence cannot be
reimbursed.
*Keep in mind the following
per-person meal caps: ($26 breakfast, $38 Lunch, $64 Dinner, $17 Refreshments).
Anything over these caps (which INCLUDE TAX, TIP, and DELIVERY) is considered
exceptional and will need to be approved by the department Control Point.
**If Alcohol will be
purchased, the request must be sent to the College Dean, or Chancellor for
Approval. Please let ISBER know ASAP so that this approval can be in place
ahead of time or risk incurring non-reimbursable expenses.
FYI, alcohol is not allowable unless unrestricted
monies are available to pay.
Parking,
Transportation, Meeting Room Rental, and Miscellaneous Expenses (at UCSB):
- Please have
direct billed if possible
- Have the
Individual Departments (Transportation and Parking Services, UCen, etc) contact
Katie for account number to use for expenses.
As always, ISBER is happy to assist with any arrangements, and we are
readily available to answer questions as they arise (Katie Bamburg 893-5697).
