At The 3-15-2006
Town Board Meeting, Bob Doering Ask The Town Board If The
Person That Purchased The Cheesecake Would Raise Their Hand.
Attendees Of The 2005 Association Of Towns Convention Declined
To Identify The Person That Purchased The Cheesecake! |
|
|
|
Should The Person
That Purchased This Cheesecake Reimburse Taxpayers? |

All Of The
Supervisor's Receipts Were Added Up On A Calculator Tape
And Submitted With The His Voucher. On The Left Is A Partial
Image Of The Calculator Tape.
Click Here To View Entire Calculator Tape!
Notice
The Total On The Tape Matches The Total On The Voucher.
The
$307.60 In The RED BOX
Is The Amount Submitted For The Infamous Lobster Dinners
At Taxpayer Expense Meal. |
|
|
Notice The
$307.60 Matches The Amount On The Calculator Tape. |
|
|
|
In Addition
To The Questionable Ethics Involved In Having Lobster
Dinners At Taxpayer Expense, The Photocopy Of The
Receipt For This Meal Raises Many Questions. The
Numbers On The Receipt Were Plugged Into A Spreadsheet
And The Math DOES NOT ADD UP! |
- Why
Does The Receipt List
12
Meals
When The
Expense Voucher Is For
6 Attendees? (See Numbers With Purple
Background)
- If You Add Up The Amounts For The 12 Meals
Listed On The Receipt, The Total Is $232.05 Not The
$307.60 Submitted For Reimbursement By Supervisor
Catalino. $75.55 In Food Expenses Are Unaccounted For On
The Photocopy Of The Receipt Provided. Tips, Liquor
And Sales Tax Are Not Reimbursable Expenses.
Was
This $75.55 Food Expense For Meals For Friends &
Family That Went To New Your City?
- How Was The Unitemized $75.55 Spent?
- It's Clear That At Least 12 Meals Were
Purchased. Why Wasn't A Detailed Report Submitted
Listing The Names Of The 12 People Getting Dinners
At Taxpayer Expense?
- Will The Supervisor Release A Report Detailing
Improper Spending At The Convention?

TOWN CODE IS SITED IN
THE SECTION BELOW.
IT APPLIES TO ALL CONVENTION ATTENDEES IN THE TOWN OF
EVANS |
Town Code Article 48-6 Section D States:
Reimbursement will not be made for sales taxes paid,
since the town is not required to pay state sales tax
(in New York State only).
Exemption forms may be obtained from the Town
Accountant's office. [Amended 12-15-1993 by L.L. No.
13-1993]
EN
WHY ARE TOWN OF EVANS
ATTENDEES BEING REIMBURSED FOR SALES TAX WHEN TOWN
CODE CLEARLY STATES THAT SALES TAX IS NOT A
REIMBURSABLE EXPENSE? |

 Deputy Supervisor Karen Erickson
Submitted An Expense Voucher (1) For Five (5)
Nights At The Sheraton Hotel (2). She Reimbursed The
Town For One Night By A Personal Check For $224.00
Even Though She Arrived Two Days Early And The Room
Charge Was
$244.00!
Taxpayers Picked Up The Tab For Erickson's Second
Night In NYC Even Though Check In For The Convention
Was 4:00 PM The Next Day!
Town Code Article 48-8 Section B States:
All airline tickets will be purchased personally in
advance of the trip.
For reimbursement, a copy of the plane ticket must
accompany the travel expense voucher.
Should
The Town of Evans Require Each Attendee To Pay For All
Their Own Expenses Then Be Reimbursed After The
Convention? Separate Receipts For Each Meal? Should
Receipts For Shared Items Like Taxi Service Be Divided
By The Number Of People In The Taxi And Each Attendee/Person
Submit A Prorated Amount?

Court Clerk
Nancy O'Boyle Drove To NYC.
Her Expense Report (1) Lists 1,000
Miles At 30 A Mile.
Town Code Article 48-5 Section B States:
Claims for reimbursement for mileage for general daily
travel must be supported by a daily mileage sheet.
She Also Lists $46.01 For Gas (2)
She Also Submitted A Receipt For The Metropolitan
Museum (3).
Was She On Town Related Business?

Flat rate or stated schedule. A mileage allowance is
paid at a flat rate or stated schedule if it is provided
on a uniform and objective basis with respect to the
expenses described in section 4.03 of this revenue
procedure. The allowance may be paid periodically at a
fixed rate, at a cents-per-mile rate, at a variable rate
based on a stated schedule, at a rate that combines any of
these rates, or on any other basis that is consistently
applied and in accordance with reasonable business
practice. Thus, for example, a periodic payment at a fixed
rate to cover the fixed costs (including depreciation (or
lease payments), insurance, registration and license fees,
and personal property taxes) of driving an automobile in
connection with the performance of services as an employee
of the employer, coupled with a
periodic payment at a cents-per-mile rate to cover the
operating costs (including
gasoline
and all taxes
thereon, oil, tires, and routine maintenance and repairs)
of using an automobile for those purposes, is an allowance
paid at a flat rate or stated schedule. Likewise, a
periodic payment at a 9 variable rate based on a stated
schedule for different locales to cover the costs of
driving an automobile in connection with the performance
of services as an employee is an allowance paid at a flat
rate or stated schedule. |

The Supervisor and

5 Days For A 3 Day
Convention. The 2 Town
