Increase in Transportation Allowance For Elected Officials and Certain Unrepresented Management Personnel.

|
RECOMMENDATION:
|
Adopt a resolution amending Resolution 68419 concerning the transportation allowance for elected officials and certain unrepresented management personnel.
|
|
|
BACKGROUND:
|
Benefits for unrepresented management personnel including county elected officials are contained in Resolution 68419 “Expressing the Salary and Benefits of Unrepresented Management Personnel of the County of San Mateo” adopted by the Board on December 5, 2006 and amended on January 8, 2008.

DISCUSSION:
|
Beginning July 1, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service’s standard mileage reimbursement rate for employees will be increased to $.585 per mile from $.505, a 16% increase. Elected officials, Department Heads, and management employees designated by the County Manager may elect to receive such a transportation allowance in lieu of mileage reimbursement. The requested action would similarly increase the maximum transportation allowance by 16% from $442 to $513 each pay period.
