Fort Meade Commission votes 3-2 for audit of mayor's travel expenses

(This article was revised to include a contribution from the Central Florida Development Council.) Fort Meade Mayor Jaret Landon Williams faces an internal audit of expenses he charged to the city involving his October trip to inspect data centers in Virginia. The City Commission voted 3-2 at its Nov. 10 meeting to order a review of Williams’ charge of $948 on a city credit card.

Watts raised the issue during the meeting, questioning whether Williams received authorization in advance for his travel expenses and whether the charges covered any costs for two unnamed companions. Four city commissioners and City Manager Troy Bell traveled to Loudoun County, Virginia , in late September to tour facilities in an area known as Data Center Alley.

Williams did not join the group for the September tour. He later made his own trip to Loudoun County and charged travel expenses on a city credit card, Bell confirmed during
