Honorable Mayor and City C~cil Members
Ron Nault, Finance Directo~
Mileage Reimbursement
BACKGROUND
The cost of operating a vehicle has been escalating for several years yet the City's
vehicle mileage reimbursement rate has stayed constant at 15~ per mile.
DISCUSSION
The attached survey shows that the City of Tustin currently has the lowest
reimbursement rate for the use of personal vehicles for City business. Considering
the economic changes in the cost of operating a vehicle in the past three years, it
is no longer appropriate to only reimburse employees at a rate of 15¢ per mile. An
increase to 20¢ per mile would be in line with what the IRS is currently allowing and
what other cities of our size are reimbursing.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council increase the amount of mileage reimbursement from 15¢
to 20¢ per mile, effective July 1, 1981.
