Expense

At its meeting on June 3, 2013, the College of Mayor and Aldermen decided to publish semi-annually a summary of the expenses incurred outside the expense allowance (or official allowance) and paid by the municipality for the members of the College. It concerns the costs in respect of transportation, functional lunches, refreshments, dinners, foreign trips and representation.

The summary covers costs incurred by the entire college and costs incurred in the name of individual college members. In all cases, these are costs functionally incurred in the interest of the municipality.

The following cost items can be found in the document.

  • Transportation:
    • Reimbursement of own transportation expenses per college member.
    • Reimbursement of public transportation costs per college member.
    • A total record of travel expenses incurred by cab.
  • Functional refreshments, lunches and dinners (per college member and entire college):
    • In the workplace.
    • Outside.
    • Foreign travel per college member.
  • Representation expenses (flowers, gifts, etc. per college member and entire college).
