l <br />ROOK 64 FA;E1� <br />TO: DATE: FILE: <br />Indian River County Board April 7, 1986 <br />of County Commissioners <br />SUBJECT: RESOLUTION REGARDING <br />USE OF COUNTY -OWNED <br />VEHICLES <br />FROM: • Bruce Barket '114 <br />Assistant County Attorney <br />REFERENCES. <br />The attached resolution is offered at Joe Baird's suggestion to <br />reduce the volume of intricate record-keeping required by the <br />Internal Revenue Service. The resolution prohibits personal, <br />nonwork-related use of County -owned vehicles except for commuting <br />to and from work. <br />Commissioner Lyons asked if this includes the Sheriff, and <br />OMB Director Baird stated this is meant only for Board of County <br />Commission vehicles. <br />Commissioner Lyons did not feel that is what the proposed <br />Resolution says as he felt that actually a.11 the people working <br />for the Sheriff, the Property Appraisers, etc. are County <br />employees. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised his interpretation was that <br />county employees means Board of County Commission employees. If <br />it was desired to include the Sheriff, etc., you would also name <br />Constitutional Officers. <br />Director Baird explained that there is a new IRS ruling <br />stating that if anyone who has the use of a county vehicle takes <br />it home, that has to be looked at as compensation, and this <br />compensation either is by true mileage or by $1.50 each way. If <br />we want to use the $1.50 method, we have to pass this resolution <br />stating that such vehicles cannot be used for personal use. The <br />intent was to do this for the Board of County Commission <br />employees only as we do not keep the records for the <br />Constitutional Officers. All emergency vehicles, Sheriff, <br />Firemen, etc., are exempt. <br />71 <br />
