344 since Council received the report , several Council Members had indicated they had questions with respect to the amount of the mileage increase , and also whether the bridge tolls and parking should be averaged out and in- cluded in the mileage . It was recommended that the report be referred back to Staff for further study and report back to Council . Councilman Henderson indicated that she believed the parking and tolls should be separate , and not lumped in with mileage , and that she could not support the proposed 150 per mile payment .

He added that another factor to be considered was that it was felt there should be a review of the present allowance , since it had not been done in some time .
