Article 30 To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 15, Article III, Section 15-7 of the Code of the Town of Mashpee by deleting the phrase, ". . . the rate of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per mile of travel. . ." and inserting in its place, ". . . the rate of thirty cents ($0.30) per mile of travel. . .", or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Treasurer/Tax Collector Explanation: At the present time, employees who must use their own vehicles for Town business do not receive reimbursement equivalent to the actual cost of using their vehicle, (the present standard mileage rate of the Internal Revenue Service is thirty cents ($.30) per mile). They are at a disadvantage compared to employees who have the use of a Town vehicle. Recommendation: The Finance Committee recommends approval. Motion made by Selectman Caffyn.
