2. Council Salary Reporting
2.1 Over the past several years, there has been a trend in Ontario municipalities towards
increasing the public disclosure of Council remuneration and expenses. To further this
initiative, beginning in 2019, the quarterly financial updates report includes highlights of
interest related to these expenses.
2.2 According to By-law #2011-005, Council members are entitled to a travel allowance to
compensate for travel related Municipal business within Municipal boundaries. In
recognition of travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19 and to reflect an increase in
virtual meetings and events, several councillors elected to forego all or portions of this
allowance in 2021. ,
3. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the report be received.
