As the brouhaha continues over bunny costumes, wine, and mystery limo trips (with, we suspect, more than a few of us wishing Giorgio "Army Boy" Mammoliti had stayed at his unknown $200 destination) we provide our promised follow-up. Here's a list of our suggested guidelines for councillors to follow when managing their budgets, as well as some procedures the City could put into place to support them:

• No city-funded booze purchases at lunches - period. Either pay out of your own pockets, or better yet, skip the sauce entirely so you can work rather than nap, post-lunch.
• No city-funded departmental lunches or entertainment of staff on the City's dime. In the One's time, department members chipped in for this kind of thing on their own, along with gifts for departing staff, etc.
• No use of the budget to purchase furniture, fixtures or office decorations/art. The City should maintain a list of furniture suppliers, and a warehouse of surplus furniture which councillors and others can select from, subject to a review process to determine if the need exists.
• In house printing of all councillor newsletters, and other materials that might be perceived as self -promotion. Materials can be reviewed and vetted to ensure they meet critera around what constitutes acceptable correspondence that for one, doesn't constitute electioneering.
• Terminate all bottled water purchases on the City's dime, unless there is no alternative water source. The city produces high quality water - it comes out of taps - and should be seen as supporting its product.
• Elimination of all City funded perqs, such as the Skyboxes, etc.
• Prior approval required for all expenditures, with immediate refusal of any expenses that are submitted missing required information, or not meeting required criteria.
• Publication of councillors' expenditures, quarterly, on the City website.
