Resolution No. 20 (2023)
RESOLUTION AMENDING PERSONNEL POLICY
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
DATE: June 6, 2023
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Amending Personnel Policy
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The meal reimbursement per diem rates were last updated in 2014. Inflation affecting food costs
are up significantly over the past two years. The current Federal government reimbursement
meal and incidentals ($5) rates range from $59 - $79 per day, depending on tier (area). We used
these rates as a starting point in determining fair rates for St. Croix County employees. We are
proposing the following adjustments:
Morning Meal: Increase rate from $8.00 to $13.00
Noon Meal: Increase rate from $12.00 to $15.00
Evening Meal: Increase rate from $20.00 to $26.00
Last year expenses were $24,644. The adjustment from our current reimbursement rate of $40
per day to $54 per day would have a estimated fiscal cost of $8,624 per year.
