MATAMOI'OR <br /> 4 ,gam <br /> (2)*(9HL--.96 <br /> fifi(01 <br /> • <br /> February 22, 1979 • <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Charter Commissioners <br /> FROM: Mayor Matayoshi <br /> • <br /> RE: Per Diem/Mileage Claims <br /> This will hopefully clarify your questions regarding per diem <br /> and mileage claims that we had discussed at our dinner meeting <br /> on January 3.0 , 19790 <br /> According to the County Charter, Section 13-4 (g) , "Members shall . <br /> receive no compensation, but shall be reimbursed for necessary <br /> expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. Necessary <br /> expenses may be paid in advance asper diem allowance, which shall <br /> be established by ordinance. Members of boards and commissions <br /> who do not receive compensation from their employers during the <br /> time they are serving on boards and commissions, shall be reimburs- <br /> ed by the County for actual work hours lost at the straight time <br /> rate of pay of such members in their regular employment , but in <br /> no case shall such reimbursement exceed five times the state <br /> minimum wage hour rate: " So far, no claim has been filed for lost <br /> wages in the performance of public duties. <br /> Per diem is based on a rate of $30° 00 per night, and will be given <br /> only if the meeting/hearing ends at 10 :00 p.m. and the distance <br /> is considered too far or other conditions prevent return home that <br /> night. Only then, will the per diem be given from a reasonable <br /> time a member started his travel to attend the meeting/hearing, <br /> and will end at a reasonable time needed to reach home the next <br /> morning. Per diem allowance is to be used to cover lodging and <br /> meal expenses. A certificate of travel must be completed when per <br /> diem allowance is received. <br /> • <br /> The reimbursable meal allowance for members of boards and commis- <br /> sions is based on the rate of $3.00 for breakfast, $3000 for lunch, <br /> and $6000 for dinner (these limits may be increased shortly) . The <br /> members' rate or the actual amount' paid for the meals (if less than <br /> the rate) will be subtracted from any per diem allowance if paid ' <br /> by the County in advance. <br /> COMM. • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII HILO, HAWAII 96720 <br />
