OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

EXECUTIVE DEPA�RTMENT
ihomaa R. Byrne
May°f November 1 , 1967
a
To the Honorable Members of the City Council:
�
I wisheto bring to the attention of this Council a matter of very
serious concern. I refer specifically to the mileage allowances
program of our city.
I would estimate that more than $150 ,000 has been appropriated for
this purpose in our 1968 budget. This� certainly must be considered
a ve�y significa�t item. We will soon��receive a request that these
allow�nces be increased. �
I know that there are numerous inspectors and others whose work
involves a great deal of travel throughout the city who are not
coming o�zt even on their mileage allowances . Qn the other hand,
reports periodically reach my of.fice that some employees may be
drawing lump sum mileage allowances which are in excess of the
amount of use the city actually deriveis from their cars .
To reach a possible solution I would appoint today a committee to
study the entire matter of mileage allowances . It may very well
be that the time has come to switch to a motor pool approach
rather than to continue to pay rising amounts for the use of em-
ployees_' private cars . Accordingly, I ask Commissioner Peterson
to serve as the Chairman of this committee and Commissioners
Meredith and Carlson to serve with him.
I hope the committee will study every approach to economizing on
our mileage expenditures . I specifically ask the committee to
study the feasibility of a city motor �pool.
i
Sincerely, �

THOMAS R. BYRNE AYOR
