Consideration of Resolution No. 4713 Adjusting the <br /> 13 Reimbursement Rate for Employee's Use of Personal Vehicles <br /> 14 During the Conduct of City Business <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, reported that the IRS had <br /> 17 just raised the reimbursement amount for mileage from 29-1/2 <br /> 18 cents per mile to 30 cents per mile. The City of Mounds View <br /> 19 has maintained the policy of following the IRS regulations <br /> 20 pertaining to mileage reimbursement. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Councilmember Trude asked for an explanation of mileage <br /> 23 reimbursement when there are City vehicles available. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Orduno explained that the City currently owns four vehicles <br /> 26 that are used primarily by City Staff, separate and apart from <br /> 27 the Public Works vehicles. One of the City's vehicles is <br /> 28 assigned to the building official. The second vehicle has <br /> 29 been used primarily by the Housing Intern. Often, the Code <br /> 30 Enforcement official is using the third vehicle, which leaves <br /> 31 one vehicle for the use of the other Staff members for <br /> 32 meetings, conferences, errands, etc. Many times there is not <br /> 33 a City vehicle available for Staff members. The internal <br /> 34 policy requires Staff to use a City vehicle when one is <br /> 35 available--no mileage reimbursement is incurred for a City <br /> 36 vehicle. In the instance that Staff must use their personal <br /> 37 vehicle for conducting City business, mileage is reimbursed. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Councilmember Hankner commented that mileage reimbursements <br /> 40 are typical for corporations and political entities whenever <br /> 41 personal cars have to be used for business purposes. This is <br /> 42 a normal expense. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Trude to Adopt Resolution No. 4713 <br /> 45 Adjusting the Reimbursement Rate for Employee's Use of <br /> 46 Personal Vehicles During the Conduct of City Business <br /> 47 <br /> 48 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> 49 <br />
