§ 599.652. Meals at State Agencies.
Currentness
(a) Some state agencies operate kitchens and eating facilities, generally to provide meals for prisoners, wards, students, or inmates at institutions or for personnel working at isolated sites. State employees, their dependents, and official visitors may utilize the services of these facilities in accordance with the conditions and restrictions prescribed herein. In cases where employees of a federal or local government agency rendered services to the state at the request of the state, they may also utilize the facilities. Excluded from the provisions of this section are facilities operated in connection with the State Colleges and the University, and those facilities managed by blind personnel under the supervision of the Department of Rehabilitation and located in buildings occupied by other agencies.
(b) With the exceptions listed below, all state employees, their dependents, federal and local government employees, and official visitors who receive meals prepared in state-operated kitchens will pay for each meal in accordance with the established rates. Exceptions are personnel in the following categories, who will receive meals free of charge:
(1) State employees receiving maintenance as part of their compensation.
(2) State employees receiving meals in accordance with sections 599.622 and 599.623 of these regulations.
(3) Persons receiving meals as part of an activity in which they are performing a non-compensated, volunteer service for the state.
(4) Official Guests. An official guest of a facility is a person not otherwise employed by the state who:
(A) renders a service to the state and is present at the facility by express invitation of an official of the facility or its parent agency, or
(B) is present at the facility by request of another state, the federal government, or a foreign country, with the approval of the parent agency, or
(C) is a judge or law enforcement officer and is present at the facility for the purpose of appraising the program, with the approval of the parent agency.
(5) State employees while away from their headquarters and not in a subsistence reimbursement status, who may be furnished meals at any institution, camp or facility maintained by their own agency.
(6) Employees receiving meals while participating in an approved supplemental education program which must be conducted during meal time.
(c) The rates to be charged for meals at any location shall be established by the agency that prepares the meals. Rates will be determined in accordance with the following regulations:
(1) Rates will be sufficient to cover the pro-rata cost per meal for food and beverages plus the labor involved in preparing and serving the meal. Where a certain amount of labor is already required to furnish meals to students, prisoners, wards, etc., only the cost of any additional labor required will be considered. At work camp facilities the cost of labor need not be considered. In addition to the charges for meals, each agency will collect sales taxes on meals as applicable.
(2) Within an agency, a single rate may be established for several locations, where the combined cost per meal of food and labor is substantially the same at each location.
(3) No distinction will be made in rates for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
(4) No distinction will be made in rates for different age groups.
(5) At work camp facilities where subsistence is furnished, reimbursement to the state for meal charges may be made by payroll deductions.
(6) Rates will be reviewed at least once every two years and revised if necessary to compensate for changes in applicable costs.
(d) Each agency shall maintain records showing:
(1) The value of all supplies issued to officers and employees of the agency for their maintenance.
(2) The numbers of meals served to officers and employees, their dependents, official guests, and all other persons.
(3) The amounts collected in payment for food and lodging.
(e) All sums collected by an agency for meals and lodging shall be remitted to the State Treasurer for credit to the current support appropriation.
