The Local Government Act 1993 requires that councils reimburse Aldermen for “reasonable” expenses<br />
that <strong>the</strong>y incur in carrying out <strong>the</strong>ir duties.<br />
Council’s policy on <strong>the</strong> reimbursement <strong>of</strong> “communications” expenses sets a limit <strong>of</strong> $2,000 as <strong>the</strong><br />
maximum that Aldermen can claim in any <strong>financial</strong> year.<br />
Council also set a $2,000 limit on <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> travelling expenses that Aldermen can claim in any<br />
<strong>financial</strong> year.<br />
Aldermen Martin, Pearce <strong>and</strong> Stevenson chose not <strong>to</strong> accept <strong>the</strong> annual increase <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir allowances in<br />
November last year. Alderman Martin also chose not <strong>to</strong> acccept any allowances at all for some weeks.<br />
It is Council's policy that <strong>the</strong> Mayor be provided with full use <strong>of</strong> a vehicle <strong>and</strong> a mobile phone however<br />
Alderman Taylor chose not <strong>to</strong> take ei<strong>the</strong>r. Council makes only a small contribution <strong>to</strong> Alderman Taylor's<br />
phone costs.
