They collected the pay hike and also filed expenses. In fact, while only two of Oakville's dozen councillors, along with the mayor, filed expenses for 2000, they all did in 2001. "Expenses include atten dance at conferences and semi nars, as well as reimbursement for Internet services and cell phone expenses," reported Western. Low spenders were Councillors Kevin Flynn, Tedd Smith and Keith Bird, who registered only $733. That was for cell phone reim bursement. Councillors Kurt Franklin and Fred Oliver took their $773 tab up to the $1,000 mark for reimbursement of Internet serv ices. Top spenders were Janice Caster and Ralph Robinson who logged just over $4,000 each. Much of their tab -- over $2,900 -- was for attendance at the annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference, which was held last May in Calgary. Clocking just over $2,000 in expenses were Councillors Allan Elgar, Jody Sanderson, and Janice Wright. Sanderson filed over $2,200 for attending the FCM confer ence in Ottawa on Feb. 7-10 as well as for cell phone and Internet reimbursement. Elgar filed $2,600 for attend ing FCM conferences in Ottawa and Toronto, as well as council lor training and a Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing Foundation for Change confer ence in London. Councillor Jeff Knoll filed $1,276 for attendance at two conferences, one in Mississauga and one on Municipal Value Assessment, in addition to cell phone and Internet reimburse ment. Meanwhile, Hardacre filed $51 to attend the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in Toronto, as well as cell phone and Internet service. At the same time, Wright claimed $1,100 to attend the same conference as well as $381 to attend an FCM conference in Toronto, along with cell phone reimbursement. Mulvale clocked just under $7,400 in expenses, $7,000 of it for the annual lease of a car. In fact, the mayor's expenses dropped in 2001, falling to $7,400 from $9,800 in 2000. While the 2000 tab included attendance at the annual confer ences of AMO and FCM, Mulvale said that as president of AMO, her way was pre-paid to those conferences. The associa tion also shells out for her gas bills. And once again, the mayor had one of the lowest benefits claims, since she's covered by a benefits package through her late husband. Mulvale, along with Town councillors serving as Halton Regional councillors, also receive an additional $18,500 in regional salary. They are Flynn, Oliver, Bird, Elgar, Knoll, Franklin and Mulvale. AH told, the Town of Oakville coughed up just over $377,000 in salaries for the mayor and councillors. Town coffers paid another $47,(X X) in benefits and just over $29,000 for expense tabs. In all, some $454,000 was paid out by the Town.
