§ 37-1-505. Annual meeting — Expenses.

It is the official duty of each member of the council to attend upon its meetings unless otherwise officially engaged, or for other good and sufficient reasons. Each member who attends the annual meeting or training sessions shall be compensated for the member's actual and reasonable expenses in attending such meeting or training sessions. Unless such funds are provided by the state, such expenses shall be paid upon a verified statement of expenses being filed with the county mayor by any member incurring such expenses. Expenses shall be paid by the trustee upon warrant of the county mayor from the general fund of the county in which the member serves as judge; provided, that funds for such purpose have been appropriated by the county legislative body.
