Public disclosure of Elected Officials' business expenses is meant to enhance accountability and transparency, through routine disclosure of information on expenses incurred by the County's Elected Officials, and to enhance public confidence in the oversight of expenses incurred by those in office.

Expenses are divided into four categories: 

  • Business expenses 

  • Professional development 

  • Public relations 

  • Corporate activities

Corporate Activities are budgeted for on a whole; budget is not broken down by individual Elected Official.
