Lincoln County approves 2026 holidays, mileage and meal reimbursement rates
Summary
The county approved Resolution 2026-03 establishing 2026 holidays, set mileage reimbursement at $0.725 per mile (IRS rate), and set in-state and out-of-state meal rates; commissioners discussed federal versus state holiday recognition.
Commissioners adopted Resolution 2026-03 at the Jan. 7 meeting to set county-observed holidays for 2026 and to fix mileage and meal reimbursement rates for county employees. The mileage reimbursement rate was set at $0.725 per mile (matching the IRS standard rate as of Jan. 1, 2026); in-state meal rates were set at $11.20 (breakfast), $13.30 (midday) and $20.60 (evening). Out-of-state meal rates were set at higher amounts.
Members clarified that some federally declared holidays are not state holidays and therefore are not county-recognized. The board approved the resolution with no public comment. Commissioners noted a question about Independence Day falling on a Saturday and the associated observed day but agreed to the standard schedule and reimbursement rates.
