In response to numerous requests form our readers, the Times has obtained travel expenses for the six elected officials and some senior employees for the year 2015.
They include such items as air fare, lodging, meals, rental cars, taxi fare, registration fees and other miscellaneous expenses.
Totals From January 1 - December 31, 2015:
Mayor Kant: $12,432
Councilman Burrell: $12,507
Councilman Boone: $5,753
Councilwoman Brewer: $4,511
Councilman Mueller: $4,352
Councilman Mike Ford: $1,164
Community Affairs Director Sherry Sullivan: $7,340
Planning Department Johnathan Smith: $2,962

In addition, Mayor Kant was reimbursed $9,101 for gasoline for city-business travel in his private car. Some of the mayor's other expenses ($2,110) were reimbursed by the city's electricity supplier: the Alabama Municipal Electric Authority.
Travel to National League of Cities and Alabama League of Municipalities events made up the bulk of the expense for the year; but councilman Burrell's travel to the Paris Air Show was also significant.
(We have requested, but not-yet received the records for the first part of this year as well.)

Why did Councilman Burrell NEED to go "Paris Air Show" as town business
I have noticed that for such a small town ,it has an extremly large "budget"
