Saskatoon councilors spend $13k on car allowance

Saskatoon city councilors were under-budget when it comes to car allowances last year.

Councilors spent $13,672 on driving, while the city budgeted $15,000.

Councilors are reimbursed about 50 cents per kilometer when they use their personal vehicles for work.

Bev Dubois, councilor for Ward 9, spent the most — about $3,000, followed by Ward 1 councilor Darren Hill who spent just over $2,500.

Ward 2 councilor, Hilary Gough, and Ward 7 councilor, Mairin Loewen, didn’t spend any money on car allowances.

Saskatoon city councilors are set to discuss their spending in a meeting on Monday at City Hall.
