Members of the Common Council
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned members of the Finance Committee hereby recommend that
the City, of Rochester support an enabling act before the Legislature recommending
mileage to be increased from 7t cents per mile to 10 cents. Also that this
enabling act include municipalities in its wording. -
We recommend this because of the many departments such as Dog Catcher, Assessors,
Inspectors, Public Health & Welfare, Police, Planning, and amny other departments
which now do make use of their private cars for City uses.
We feel that the 7k cents a mile is not a true reimbursement for the use of
these vehicles, especially using them within the City limits.
We further recommend that appropriate information be sent to the proper officials
at the State Capitol so that the City of Rochester be represented.
Respectfully submitted,
/s William Bergstedt, Chairman
FINANCE COM;TTEE; /s Wallace Thomas
/s David Leonard"
