Select Board approves mileage reimbursement for transfer station attendants at combined truck + trailer rate

Staff presented research showing dump‑trailer mileage rates ranging from 67¢ to 81¢ per mile and that the IRS truck reimbursement rate is roughly 72.5¢. Chair moved to reimburse transfer station attendants at the IRS truck rate and use a midpoint (about 74¢) for the dump trailer, totaling about 146.5¢ per mile. Committee member asked that the policy apply to whoever works at the transfer station rather than being tied to a single named employee; the board amended the motion, seconded, and approved.

The board agreed the policy will tie the truck reimbursement to the IRS rate so the figure updates with federal adjustments, and the dump trailer midpoint will be used as a consistent supplement. The town will reimburse employees who use their truck and trailer while performing transfer station duties.
