The attendee must submit a written request indicating all pertinent details including any request for crediting of time or reimbursement of fees to the Village Administrator. Requests must be made in writing on an approved Village of Germantown form. A signed voucher by the Village Administrator would mean approval. When a request for training is approved, the employee’s reasonable registration, tuition, related publications, transportation, and lodging costs will be covered by the Village unless otherwise stated by the Village Administrator. Receipt retention and submission is required for such cost coverage. Employees will receive the current US General Services Administration per diem rate. This allowance does not cover alcoholic beverages.
