Board approves higher mileage reimbursement for civil paper service
Summary
The Mills County Board approved increasing the billable mileage reimbursement for civil paper service from 72.5 cents per mile to 76 cents per mile following a motion from county law-enforcement staff; the change aligns the county's billable rate with the state rate.
The Mills County Board of Supervisors voted to raise the billable mileage reimbursement for civil paper service to 76 cents per mile. The change, introduced by the sheriff's office, updates the county's billable rate to match the state rate used when charging third parties for service of papers.
The speaker who introduced the request said, "well before it was 72.5 cents a mile ... now it is 76 cents a mile," explaining the county's need to update the billable fee so the sheriff's office can charge an accurate mileage reimbursement when serving civil process. A motion to increase the mileage rate for civil paper service was made and seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes.
The board clarified this change applies to billable mileage charged to outside parties in civil service situations, not to internal county reimbursement practices for employees. The sheriff's office described the fee as a partial reimbursement tied to service fees (for example, a $30 service fee plus mileage billed to the requesting party). The board approved the change during routine business and moved on to other agenda items.
