Carter County sets 2025 meeting schedule, appoints chair and updates travel rates
Summary
The board adopted a resolution establishing regular 2025 meeting dates (including a move to the third Thursday), appointed Rod as chairman for 2025, and approved updated travel reimbursement rates tied to federal allowances, including 70¢/mile and per diem of $16/$19/$28.
At its January session the Carter County commissioners moved to formalize regular meeting dates for 2025 and to set administrative travel reimbursements.
A resolution (O1062025‑O1) establishing regular meeting sessions—each of the first three Mondays, the third Thursday, and the last working day of each month at 9:00 a.m.—was presented, moved and seconded. The board adopted the resolution by voice vote.
Commissioner [name recorded in transcript] moved that Rod be chairman of the board and vice chair for calendar year 2025; the motion was seconded and carried.
The board also considered a travel‑reimbursement resolution (O1062025‑O2) to align county rates with federal standards. The proposal set mileage at 70¢ per mile (67¢ for any miles over 1,000 in a month), and established per diem levels at $16 for breakfast, $19 for lunch and $28 for dinner, with lodging to be reimbursed at actual cost with receipts. Commissioners discussed the requirement for receipts, encouraged use of county vehicles when available, and reviewed handbook language. Staff agreed to prepare final documents for signature.
The actions formalize the county27s 2025 calendar and provide updated guidance to staff and commissioners traveling on county business.
