In Re: VOLUNTEER MILEAGE DEDUCTION INCREASE—SUPPORT CONGRES-
SIONAL BILLS H. R. Z697, S. 1165, S. 1579
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the week of May 6-12, 1984, is proclaimed National Volunteer
Week; arid
WHEREAS thousands of men and women in Oakland County have served
a vast number of hours in meaningful volunteer activities aimed at improving
the quality of life in our community and county programs; and
WHEREAS volunteers often use their automobiles to carry out their
volunteer assignments; and
WHEREAS the current VOW mileage deduction of $.09 allowed by government
is sometimes making volunteering a luxury and is discouraging volunteerism;
and
WHEREAS non-profit organizations and governmental agencies are facing
serious problems in recruiting volunteers to perform services which require
those volunteers to use their private automobiles.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners supports the passage in Congress of pending bills S. 1579,
S. 1167, and H. R. 2697 that would allow volunteers to take the same deductions
as business persons or set the mileage deduction for volunteers at the same
rate allowed government employees as reimbursement when they use their
vehicles in government business.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
