RE: Amendment to Approved Travel Authorization
Dear President and Members of Council:
Authorization was previously requested and approved for Commissioner David Engel, a non-City employee, to attend the HUD National Fair Housing Training Academy in Washington, DC, May 25-28, 2004, sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development. Attendance is mandatory under our contract under HUD and all expenses for attendance at this conference will be reimbursed by HUD.
This letter is to amend the anticipated travel costs for a $400.00 increase to cover plane fare, which was incorrectly stated as being $380 rather the actual amount of $780.00. All other estimated costs are anticipated to remain the same. Cost of this travel, therefore, is not expected to exceed $1,620.00 payable from the HUD Trust Fund. PEOPLESOFT account information is as follows:
Org. 105230
Fund 2630
Sub-Class 600
Account 564100
Budget year 2004
A corrected copy of the Travel Cost Calculations sheet is attached.
Sincerely,
Charles F. Morrison
Director
