TO: Mayor and City Council
Pamela Punt, Councilor-Elect

FROM: Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrato~
SUBJECT: Elimination of Vehicle Allowances for 2010
DATE: November 23,2009
- Introduction / Background
The City's adopted Vehicle Acquisition, Use and Replacement Policy states that the City
Administrator, Public Works Director, Community Development Director, Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Director and Assistant City Engineer "may receive a monthly [vehicle]
allowance as set by the City Council." Due to current budget constraints it is recommended that
these allowances be set at $0 for calendar year 2010 and continuing on until such time as the
Council acts to reinstate them. In the meantime, these 5 employees would be eligible to submit
for mileagereimbursement in the same manner as any other employee.
This action was anticipated at the time the 2010 budget was being established, therefore funding
for vehicle allowances was not included in the preliminary 2010 budget.
Requested Action .
If the Council concurs, it should offer a motion to set the monthly vehicle allowance for the staff
positions named above at zero ($0.00) effective January 1, 2010 and continuing until further
action by the Council.
