City Council Meeting 1-10-06 Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Resolution Repealing Resolution Number 6161 (CCS) Relating to the
Rate of Reimbursement for Employee Use of Personal Cars for City
Business
Introduction
The attached resolution would repeal an antiquated Council resolution which was
adopted in 1980 to establish a mileage reimbursement rate for employee use of
personal cars for City business. The resolution is being submitted for adoption.
Background
In 1980, the Council adopted Resolution Number 6161 (CCS) establishing a mileage
reimbursement rate of 22.5 cents per mile. No Council resolutions on mileage
reimbursement have been adopted since. In 2000, the City Manager issued an
Administrative Instruction establishing a mileage reimbursement rate that reflected then
current costs. Since then, the Administrative Instruction has been updated. However,
the Council has never repealed Resolution Number 6161 (CCS).
Discussion
The attached resolution would repeal Resolution Number 6161 (CCS). It was prepared,
at the request of the Finance Department, to address and eliminate a potential legal
conflict between the old resolution and current reimbursement rates.
