CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
February 13, 1980
TO: City Council
PROM: Orvi1 J. Johnson
City Administrator
SUBJECT: Dewey Selander - Mileage Expense
Dewey Selander has been Recreation Director for Mendota Heights for
about seven years. During this period of time he has received a part-time
salary, supposedly commensurate for the time and responsibilities needed
to conduct the Recreation program. He has never received compensation
for the use of his car and other personal equipment. His salary for 1980
is the 1979 salary plus 8%, or $5,7780
Mary Mills, of the Park and Recreation Commission requested that his
total compensation be reviewed. In discussing this matter with Dewey it
seemed that he was reasonably satisfied with his compensation, however the
cost of transportation was not being adequately covered. I asked Dewey to
submit a breakdown of miles driven. He gave me a reasonable looking
schedule broken down in serving the skating rinks, the spring volleyball,
the summer program, the beach, etc. It appears that Dewey drives approximately
200 miles per month on an average.
I am proposing that we pay Dewey a mileage expense of $25.00 per month.
This would figure out to approximately 12C per mile which may not quite
compensatefor the total cost of mileage but would fairly reflect the difference
in automobile costs during the past 7 years. This $300 per year is fundable
within the Park and Recreation budget and I recommend that he be authorized
such a travel expense of $25.00 per month effective for February, 1980.
