Private Automobile Mileage Allowance. Any member may be reimbursed for the use of a private automobile on official City business upon approval of his department head. Where use of a private automobile is regular and continuous, the City Manager may authorize a flat monthly sum, based upon the estimated average monthly mileage at a rate of twenty cents ($0.20) per mile or at the prevailing City rate, whichever is higher. Each employee claiming an allowance on a monthly basis shall submit a voucher each month stating exactly the number of days in said month that the private automobile was used for City business. Prorated amounts will be authorized if the vehicle was used for City business for only part of any month. Any employee claiming an allowance on the mileage basis shall submit a voucher for the mileage claimed and a complete list of trips made and distances traveled, according to regulations established by the Director of Finance.
