Receipts Insufficient

Receipts Insufficient

Receipts for meals and travel are insufficient to base reimbursements on. Many receipts (see attachments) are undated, contain no descriptions of items, handwritten amounts, appear to include costs for spouses and friends traveling with officials and were submitted fraudulently for personal gain and in violation of town code Chapter 48 Section 48-8 (“The standard claim form will be used for all claims for travel expense. Sub vouchers or receipts must be attached to the claim. The voucher must show the date each item of expenditure was incurred, the places between which travel was performed, time of departure and time of arrival at destination” and Section 48-9 (“The rules of reasonableness, necessity and actuality regarding any expenses have been established by law, and all claims will be viewed with these criteria. Claims which appear incomplete or inconsistent with the above rules will be reduced accordingly.”). These claims do not come anywhere near meeting that codes standard.
