The maximum allowances voted by the departmental councils for the actual performance of the duties of departmental councillor are determined by applying to the reference term mentioned in article L. 3123-15 the following scale:
DEPARTEMENTAL POPULATION (inhabitants) |
Maximum rates (in %) |
Less than 250,000 |
40 |
From 250,000 to less than 500,000 |
50 |
From 500,000 to less than 1 million |
60 |
From 1 million to less than 1,25 million |
65 |
1.25 million and over |
70 |
Under conditions set by the internal regulations, the amount of the allowances that the County Council allocates to its members is adjusted according to their actual attendance at plenary sessions and meetings of the committees of which they are members. Any reduction in this amount may not exceed, for each member, half of the indemnity that may be allocated to him pursuant to this article.
