Commission grants one-time mileage reimbursement variance for Amber Kelley
Summary
The Daggett County Commission approved a one-time variance to the county mileage-reimbursement policy for volunteer Amber Kelley related to the 2024 Tower Rock run after staff acknowledged an administrative timing error.
The Daggett County Commission approved a one-time variance to its mileage-reimbursement policy to allow volunteer Amber Kelley to be reimbursed for mileage related to the 2024 Tower Rock run despite filing after the policy’s standard submission window.
Staff said the omission was an education/timing error and that the volunteer had not been made aware of the reporting deadline. Commissioners discussed the policy, which encourages submissions within 30 days and limits standard approvals to a 90-day window. Several members expressed reluctance to penalize a volunteer for an administrative mistake and agreed a single variance was appropriate in this instance.
Speaker 1 moved to approve the variance and thank the volunteer for her work; Speaker 2 seconded and the motion passed with oral "Aye" votes. Commissioners asked staff to consider whether the policy needs revision to clarify timing and guidance for volunteers going forward.
The commission did not specify the reimbursement amount at the meeting and did not change the policy text; it approved only the one-time variance and directed staff to consider future policy clarifications.
