Can board members be reimbursed for mileage?
No. Law restricts mileage reimbursement to city employees. Neighborhood Council board members can be reimbursed for gasoline costs based on original receipts and a description of the Neighborhood Council business that necessitated the expense. Gasoline expenses should be approved by the Board and can be included in the budget within an operational expense category. Original receipts for gasoline costs must be retained and submitted with the quarterly audit’s petty cash reconciliation form.
