Background: routine disclosure of expense records |
|
| |
|
The Councillor Expense Policy was adopted by Toronto City Council on July 16, 2008. It provides for routine disclosure of Councillor expense records.
The City Clerk’s Office publishes the Mayor and Councillors’ office budget and expenses, including year-to-date expenditure details, on the City’s website within 30 days of the end of the quarter or the year-end closing date.
Supporting transaction documentation has personal information redacted (blocked) before posting, as required by the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA).
The Mayor’s year-to-date expenses are also included in the quarterly routine disclosure. The Mayor has an annual operating budget approved by Council. Expenses disclosed relate to non-salary expenditures from this budget.
All approved expenses have been authorized by Councillors or their staff. All signatures have been redacted.
