A Resolution Approving Travel Expenses in Accordance with Travel Policy and Procedures – Warrenton-Fauquier Joint Communications Center

Topic Description:

Fauquier County’s adopted Personnel Policy Section AP-06 (“Travel Policy and Procedures”) requires Board of Supervisors’ approval where expenses for travel will exceed $1,000.

The Warrenton-Fauquier Joint Communications Center is requesting approval for the Radio System Manager to attend the Motorola Training Center in Schhaumburg, Illinois, November 14-17, 2006.   The costs are estimated to be approximately $3,500.  The training will focus on programming Motorola 800 Mhz mobile and portable radios.  This training will allow more in-house programming, thereby reducing the cost presently charged by our contractor.
