We call the mayor regularly on the car that gives it its municipal majority. At the last council, we had to answer for the less singular. This article summarizes the facts, figures and the law. "This car is a benefit in kind of EUR 500 monthly" : True and False ...
The new car (C5), bought 29,900 euros excluding tax, if stored 5 years, will cost although 500 euros per month (if you do not take into account fuel, maintenance, insurance and driver). It's better than the 1330 euros per month for the mayor spent the previous car (a 607) for two years (3282.96 euros per quarter, plus 5871.92 euros cancellation fee), in 2009 and 2010.
"As mayor, I only get 632 euros net monthly" : True but ...
one hand, this argument does not justify the fact that the mayor has a city car available, but second and especially the 632 euro monthly just perfectly complement the maximum compensation to which they are entitled. As a reminder, these amounted to 2757.34 euros in addition to allowances of the member. When we add up the salaries of SIVOM LMCU and mayor of Lambeth, the account is good. (1)
"Mrs Smith, if you do not want the service directors receive a company car, you should not ask me for a while you were employed at the town hall" : Forgery and True False
... because we have never asked that department heads have no car or service (in addition we would like cars, there are a few bikes, but it another debate ...). It's just the Mayor's car that we question.
True, because Th Dupont (DGAS) has prepared a 106 Peugeot from December 1997, purchased second-hand (first release on 08/03/1996). This car was not a company car but a car service, put away home and left the parking lot in case of absence. This car was also set to provide services which she had borne, and was of course never used on weekends or holidays. She kept the same car until his retirement in late 2007.
"I often travel in Paris, where I back subsidies for the city ": True, but not as mayor of Lambeth.
We know ( the "Petit Journal" Canal Plus it regularly reports ) that MP Daubresse attending the press conference of the UMP in Paris on Monday morning. The Lambersartois have to pay for the number 2 of the UMP could get on television?
MP MP Daubresse regularly goes to the National Assembly in Paris. To do this, as all members, it has a card to travel by train, first class, without limit. Then, from Gare du Nord to the Assembly, it can take a taxi and be reimbursed for expenses. Moreover, in addition to compensation, he receives "fresh mandate" at its disposal as it sees fit, up to 6412 euros a month, which does not obviously allow him to buy a car.
"Ambition for Lambeth" is only concerned about the expenditure of public money!
In fact, other than we were interested in the subject. Let us mention the
Regional Chamber of Auditors of the Nord-Pas de Calais, which, in its comments on the Common Cross in 2002, recalls the jurisprudence of company car, benefits in kind "self-arrogated" by some Mayors: "The General Code of Local Authorities do not provide for the allocation of official cars to the local executive ( ...), as well, the ministerial circular of 15 April 1992 as exercises on local mandates, does not recognize the possibility for local assemblies, assign official cars to their elected officials, it only organizes support of travel expenses.
We include the response (of the Minister of Interior) to the written question to the Senate (EQ 01308 of September 27, 2007 ): "In accordance with a principle laid down by law and regularly reminded by the Council of State, local elected positions are free. Any derogation to this principle, whether for compensation or benefits in kind, should therefore be provided by an express provision, the scope of which is strictly interpreted (EC May 4, 1934, Union of Taxpayers Borough of Aix-en-Provence, Rec. p. 528; more recently, July 21, 2006, Common Boulogne-sur-Mer; EC July 27, 2005, Mr. Millon). However, the award by a community a company car to a mayor or a deputy being provided by any text, the resolution in question therefore liable to cancellation by the administrative judge. This irregularity may also be reported by the regional chamber of accounts, as part of its supervisory powers of the quality and consistency of management. As judge of the accounts, that court may otherwise be required to apply for reimbursement of overpaid benefits. By cons, there is no reason why local executives make use of a vehicle to service the community is with dedicated, driven by themselves or by a driver, provided that this is strictly justified by the exercise of municipal functions. "Let each
reaches its opinion! Ours is known, and will be repeated when necessary and when the public interest comes after interest, we respond!
(1): Recall that the opposition councilors, claiming they have no delegation (meaning: "they do not perform actual work for Lambeth), do not benefit from compensation.
