Vilvoorde ‘own portfolio first ” coalition. The label pastes opposition party N-VA on the new majority for the sake of her first policy proposal to the directors ‘ fees to increase from 150 to 210 euros per session. “Or an increase by a whopping 40%, an impact of more than 150,000 euros over this bestuursperiode.” According to mayor Hans Bonte (sp.(a) the increase is definitely justified by the reduced number of meetings (no separate WELFARE-recommend more) and an increased responsibility for the 35 council members.
The proposal in the new regulations of the city council, the directors ‘ fees to withdraw of 150 euro to 210 euro per session, punch N-VA heavy against the chest. “The bestuursakkoord mentions several times that our city additional federal and Flemish funds to the metropolitan problems”, says cda leader Jan Anciaux. “In addition, it is also the door for a tax increase would be wide open. It is now clear that this left-wing city council these additional resources want to use for your own portfolio.”
“Even if the quorum is not reached and the meeting consequently, do not continue or if the person is only momentarily present, is the increased attendance fee paid to you. In addition and undoubtedly a consolation prize for missing out on a schepenpost treat Motley and co, the chairman of the city council (sp.a’Johan Serkeyn, ed.) in the future, even on a double attendance fee.”
According to N-VA will the decision will have an impact of more than 150,000 euros over this bestuursperiode. “That is an amount where a lot of Vilvoordse associations only but dream of. The fiscal advantage by the integration of the public WELFARE council in the city council by the new city council was also fully offset.”
