Title: Members expenses
Post by: jeffh on May 07, 2018, 08: PM
In a recent Facebook discussion Anthony Frain stated that Councillors no longer receive expenses - this was implemented when they awarded themselves a 31% allowance increase.

I'm a bit confused because when I look at the current constitution (part 6) they are all listed.

So do they receive expenses or not?

   Expense lists are usually 12 months behind.

Yes - all will be revealed once they're in the public domain.

Sorry for the confusion - I am referring to the Expenses Procedure that exists in the 2017-2018 Constitution.  It is unto date as the new allowance rates are shown.  So my point being that if the procedure is still there, Councillors will be claiming expenses

I suspect if that wwas the case, they'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

Funny that's what I told Anth Frain when he said the council hasn't had to pay anything for Jacksons Landing.
