Times-Advocate, 1978-02-23, Page 2Page 2 February 23, 1978 Board hike mileage rate The Huron County Board of Education voted itself a 6.5c per mile mileage rate increase Monday giving trustees mileage rate parity with board employees and officials. Board chairman R. H. Elliott, also chairman of the executive committee, told the trustees that the board had given its own employees an increase recently bringing their per mile rate to 19c. He said the trustees had denied themselves for the past four years. Elliott said board em ployees or people using their own vehicle for board business received 19c per mile as a result of the in crease passed by the board recently. He said the proposed rate of 21.7c per mile would be given trustees, board employees and authorized members of the public using their cars on board business. Elliott said the executive committee felt that since costs for operating a vehicle were up considerably and the new rate was being used by other county officers (county councillors and officials) the increase was reasonable and justified. He added that the new rate was the same for both trustees and employees which was not the case under the old system. John Henderson, trustee from Seaforth, asked Elliott why the new rate represented such a large increase. He said the present rate was 15c per mile and he always felt it was designed to cover costs trustees had to drive somewhere on board business. "It doesn't cost 21c a mile to drive a car,” he said. "It depends on what kind of car you drive,” countered Elliott. Colborne Township Trustee Shirley Hazlitt said she didn’t dispute an in crease for board employees but felt that the trustee rate was too much. She said she failed to see why trustees needed 21c per mile adding that it was considerably more than the rate paid to county councillors. "I would dispute that we are paid more than county councillors,” said Elliott. “If we (trustees) were paid on a per meeting rate as they are rather than a straight monthly rate I don’t feel we’re better off than them.” "That might be a point of contention,” argued Hazlitt. Henderson asked why the board committee, if it was concerned about simplicity by making the rate the same for employees and trustees, made the new mileage rate 21.7c per mile. "Why not make it an even 22c for easy figuring?” he asked. Elliott said by using the higher figure the board may come under some undue criticism. By MRS.
