Sec. A31-11. Reimbursement for use of private conveyance.

(a) Any officer or employee of the County who has been authorized to travel on County business by use of a privately-owned automobile or truck shall be reimbursed for the actual miles traveled. Effective September 1, 2000, the rate of reimbursement shall be equal to the "standard mileage rate" for auto expenses established by the federal government as the maximum tax-exempt mileage rate. Thereafter, the County rate of reimbursement shall be adjusted on the first day of the month that any change in the federal government "standard mileage rate" is effective.

The phrase "actual miles traveled" shall be defined as all miles driven on County business. However, no mileage reimbursement shall be paid for miles traveled to the first field or work location of the day from the worker's place of residence or from the last field or work location of the day to the worker's place of residence, unless the miles traveled exceeds the distance normally traveled by the worker during his/her normal home-to-work commute. In that case, the worker may claim reimbursement for only the added mileage which exceeds the normal home-to-work mileage.

In addition, for officers and employees not eligible for overtime compensation, compensatory time off, or other remuneration, "actual miles traveled" includes:

(1) The mileage to and from home and the work location if the presence of the officer or employee is required on a scheduled day off.

(2) The daily commute mileage resulting from more than one daily trip to and from home and a work location when the presence of the officer or employee is required before or after regular work hours.

(b) Reimbursement for all travel shall be claimed in accordance with policies and procedures set forth in the County Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual and the Travel Policy Desk Reference Manual.
