Mounds View City Council Page 5 <br />Regular Meeting February 13, 1995 <br />The portions of easements that are no longer necessary due to <br />platting of that property are requested to be vacated at this <br />time. Ordinance No. 555 would accomplish the vacating of <br />those dedicated easements. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Blanchard/Trude to Approve Introduction of <br />Ordinance No. 555 Vacating Publicly Dedicated Easements, <br />Sherwood Estates <br />VOTE:. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />C. Consideration of Resolution No. 4713 Adjusting the <br />Reimbursement Rate for Employee's Use of Personal Vehicles <br />During the Conduct of City Business <br />Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, reported that the IRS had <br />just raised the reimbursement amount for mileage from 29-1/2 <br />cents per mile to 30 cents per mile. The City of Mounds View <br />has maintained the policy of following the IRS regulations <br />pertaining to mileage reimbursement. <br />• <br />Councilmember Trude asked for an explanation of mileage <br />reimbursement when there are City vehicles available. <br />Orduno explained that the City currently owns four vehicles <br />that are used primarily by City Staff, separate and apart from <br />the Public Works vehicles. One of the City's vehicles is <br />assigned to the building official. The second vehicle has <br />been used primarily by the Housing Intern. Often, the Code <br />Enforcement official is using the third vehicle, which leaves <br />one vehicle for the use of the other Staff members for <br />meetings, conferences, errands, etc. Many times there is not <br />a City vehicle available for Staff members. The internal <br />policy requires Staff to use a City vehicle when one is <br />available--no mileage reimbursement is incurred for a City <br />vehicle. In the instance that Staff must use their personal <br />vehicle for conducting City business, mileage is reimbursed. <br />Councilmember Hankner commented that mileage reimbursements <br />are typical for corporations and political entities whenever <br />personal cars have to be used for business purposes. This is <br />a normal expense. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Trude to Adopt Resolution No. 4713 <br />Adjusting the Reimbursement Rate for Employee's Use of <br />Personal Vehicles During the Conduct of City Business <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />
