Mayor’s representation expenses – Tours

The City of Tours is committed to a process of transparency of its action, aimed at making public datasets of public interest. This approach is gradually being implemented: in particular, the amount of municipal elected representatives’ allowances and the list of representations in external bodies provided by elected officials as part of their municipal mandate are available on the Open Data portal since 2020. Particular attention is paid to the expenses incurred by the Mayor and elected officials during their travels and representations, in order to participate in the overall effort of sobriety of the community: by favouring more sober and less polluting modes of travel, by relinquishing the post of driver dedicated to the Mayor’s travel, or by reducing the amount of expenses budgeted for representation. The use of the Mayor’s representation costs is supervised and monitored: within the community through financial services and human resources with regard to travel, and then by the public accountant, the sole agent of the State authorised to pay the expenses.
