Unalaska, AK – The Unalaska City Council voted unanimously to accept new guidelines for travel by the mayor and council at Tuesday's council meeting.

Until now, the city didn't have a policy regarding council and mayor travel, for which the city has budgeted $42,000 for the current fiscal year. Under the new guidelines, the city will only cover expenses for travel that's required to support efforts on a state or federal level on the city's behalf, or for training sessions or committee meetings that directly benefit the city. No more than three council members will be allowed to attend those meetings, and any travel has to be voted on by the council at one of its regular sessions.
