Additional Comments:  

The current financial policy provides no guidance on the disbursement of gratuity payments other than those related to meals during business or training travel. This policy establishes direction for issuing gratuities associated with City-sponsored and department-hosted events. It is intended to promote ethical, transparent, and equitable procurement practices while ensuring responsible use of public funds.
