Worth County board adopts new federal mileage reimbursement rate of $0.76
Summary
Supervisors voted to follow the updated federal mileage reimbursement rate (0.76 per mile) after a brief debate over whether such changes should wait for the annual budget; the motion carried with ayes recorded and no roll-call naming.
The Worth County Board voted to adopt the updated federal mileage reimbursement rate of $0.76 per mile after brief discussion during the meeting.
Chair (Speaker 2) moved to follow the federal rate, noting the county has traditionally aligned with the federal mileage rate: “I guess I’ll make a motion to follow the Fed rate and go there considering we’ve been doing it in the past to 0.76.” Committee members debated whether a mid‑year rate change should be handled only during budget time and whether the county should change rates only at the start of the fiscal or calendar year.
After discussion, the motion was seconded and the board voted aye; the chair announced the motion carried. No roll-call tally with individual named votes was recorded in the transcript.
The board also discussed the administrative approach going forward — one member suggested explicitly wording future budget language to state the county will use the federal rate as of the January adjustment to avoid mid‑year changes. No additional procedural changes were adopted at the meeting.
