Subject: Re: DD Councils Stipend for Council Meeting

In Texas, our state enabling legislation allows reimbursement for actual expenses, including personal assistants, respite, etc, but we cannot pay for lost wages or a "per diem" for attending.

Dear Executive Directors:

Does anyone have what amount for the stipends they provide to Council members who attend meetings and are not employed or have to forfeit their wages to attend Council meetings or perform other Council meetings.

Thank you,
