Policy on Mileage Reimbursement
Request came from Chairman of the Zoning Board. It’s a request that keeps coming up for discussion. People are now putting in a lot of time and also with the fuel prices. Fred Gallup thinks it would be opening Pandora’s box. It will be every board asking for mileage. If we say yes to the ZBA, we’re basically saying yes to all the boards and committees. Fred Gallup doesn’t blame them for wanting to get reimbursed with the fuel prices. Discussion was tabled, Town Manager will research and get back to BOS at December meeting.
