Bluff council weighs gas reimbursement for employee attending Advanced EMT training
Summary
Council discussed reimbursing an employee for travel to Advanced EMT training in Monticello. Councilor Linda Sosa proposed a $500 reimbursement; staff were directed to bring a formal policy and vote at the next meeting.
Councilors discussed a request to reimburse travel costs for an employee attending Advanced EMT training in Monticello, with members weighing mileage and funding sources.
Councilor Linda Sosa proposed reimbursing the employee $500 to help cover gas costs for the training. Councilors noted that the federal mileage rate (approximately $0.70 per mile) would result in a different calculation and that the employee’s status as a San Juan County employee means the county paid for the class; the request is for travel reimbursement only. Nelson said funds for reimbursement could be drawn from annual fundraiser proceeds.
Council asked staff to prepare a policy and bring a formal reimbursement vote to the next meeting so the council can adopt a consistent approach to training travel reimbursement for employees and volunteers.
Next step: staff to draft a policy and present a recommended reimbursement amount and funding source at the next council meeting.
