Board of Supervisor Travel - Part 4 - Cedell Brooks

by Neil Richard

Editor's Note: As a brief reminder, the results below are broken down into different categories and time frames. The three main time frames are:


  • July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017
  • January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018
  • July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018

The major categories are Expenses, Reimbursements, and Repayments. Within the Expenses and Reimbursement categories, the data is further broken down into Transportation, Food, Lodging, Registration Fees, and Unknown. Transportation is further broken down into Gas, Tolls, Taxis, Parking, Mileage, and Airlines.

Additionally, there are special notes for data related to Virginia Association of Counties (VACo), National Association of Counties (NACo), and Anomalies. Anomalies are data points that raise questions about their veracity, missing receipts, or calculation errors.

July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017

Expenses
$250.00 Registration Fee for the 2017 VACo Annual Conference. $63.10 for gas to drive to and from the VACo conference and $402.81 for the hotel room at the VACo conference.

Reimbursements
None.

Repayments
None.

Anomalies
The total hotel bill at the Omni in Hot Springs, VA was $805.62 but the amount billed was half of that, $402.81. However, the bill did note a "Deposit Transfer" so it's likely that there was a deposit payment made prior to July 1, 2017 and the remaining balance was what was seen in our collection of data.

January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018

Cedell Brooks ended his term on December 31, 2017. Therefore, he is not going to show in the second six-month block of our three major time frames from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018.
