In the Matter of
Commissioners' Reimbursement
for Use of Personal Vehicles
}
}
}
RESOLUTION NO, 117-91
WHEREAS the elected Board of County Commissioners have official duties and
responsibilities which require the use of motor vehicles. These d~ti~s and responsibilities re~uire
the use of a County owned vehicle or reimbursement to the Commissioners for the use of a prIvate
vehicle; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners seek to minimize the number of county-
owned and operated vehicles and reduce costs as much as possible; and
WHEREAS the 1981 Washington State Legislature has recognized the nature of County
responsibilities and transportation requirement by amending R.C.W. 42.24.090 to authorize specific
payment for the use of private automobiles for official travel; and
WHEREAS, to clarify the savings and benefit to be incurred by passage of such a resolution,
the following findings are hereby made:
.
Based on the figures available, a County Commissioner can average in excess of 1,000
miles per month in the performance of the above duties and responsibilities.
Based on the figures available the average monthly cost to operate and maintain a
County owned vehicle for a Commissioners use has been $300.00 per month including
depreciation, fuel, repairs and maintenance.
That it is less costly to the County to pay a flat monthly fee of $275.00 to reimburse
a Commissioner for his/her in-County use of his/her private vehicle, than to own or
maintain a County vehicle for that use.
.
.
NOw, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL VED, that based on the foregoing findings of fact, each
Jefferson County Commissioner is hereby authorized to utilize his/her private automobile for all
official transportation within the County for which payment of $275.00 per month shall be made by
a vouchered expense claims warrant; provided, however, that this resolution shall not require any
current or future County Commissioner who so chooses to use a County car at County expense in
lieu of this or an appropriate reimbursement if he or she so chooses, and;
BE IT FINALLY RESOL VED, that this payment shall be in lieu of the use of any County
owned vehicle and shall be full payment for all automobile expenses incurred within the County.
In addition, reimbursement for mileage travelled outside of Jefferson County shall be paid at the
same rate authorized for all other County employees, said mileage to commence at the County line.
Travel to the West End of Jefferson County is considered travel within the County. Prior to
receiving payment, each County Commissioner shall provide to the County Auditor a Certificate of
Automobile Liability Insurance in the minimum amount of $100,000/$300,000 and that names
Jefferson County as an additional insured as respects Jefferson County's interest.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 12 th day of November
, 1991.
