Article 27 of the Saudi Municipalities Law

This article regulates the financial side of municipal council membership:

• Monthly remuneration: the Minister sets, by a regulation issued by the Minister, the monthly remuneration of the chairmen and members of municipal councils, and likewise of the committees that stand in for these councils.
• Mission expenses: the Minister also sets the assignment and travel expenses and the like, when a member is assigned an official mission, whether inside the town or outside it.
• Source of funding: the funds needed for these remunerations, and for all the expenses needed for municipal councils to carry out their work, are allocated in the municipalities' budget.

The article does not set any amount; the amount of the remuneration and of assignment expenses is learned from the regulation the Minister issues, not from the law itself.

Note that the text expressly mentions 'the committees that stand in for them', so the remuneration is not limited to formed municipal councils, but includes committees exercising their powers.

This article comes after Article 26, which sets the cases of loss of membership by a council decision approved by the Minister. It is followed by Article 28, which turns to the head of the municipality, making the head the first reference in its affairs and responsible for its management, with the right to issue decisions and instructions on its affairs so long as they do not conflict with the regulations, and its representative before others.
