Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer

Subject: Remuneration and Expenses of Members of the Council

of the former City of York for the period January 1 to

December 31, 1997

Recommendations:

It is recommended that this report be received and forwarded to Council for information.

Background:

Section No. 247 of The Municipal Act provides that the Treasurer of every municipality shall submit to the Council of the municipality, before February 28, in each year, a statement of the remuneration and expenses paid in the preceding year to each Member of Council in respect of his/her services as a Member of Council or as an officer of the municipal corporation and also to each Member of Council or other person appointed by the Council to a local board or other special purpose body.

My report to the Strategic Policies and Priorities Committee, dated February 6, 1998, noted that, given the current schedule of Council meetings and other administrative issues related to the amalgamation, a report respecting the above would be forwarded to the Corporate Services Committee meeting on March 30, 1998 and, subsequently, to Council on April 15, 1998.

Given the differing remuneration and expense indemnity policies and practices that were in place in the former metropolitan and area municipalities in 1997, the submission of separate, individual reports in respect of each former municipality is more appropriate in these circumstances.

This report is in respect of the remuneration and expenses of Members of the Council of the former City of York.

The attached statement, Appendix A, summarizes the remuneration and expenses of Members of Council for the period January 1 to December 31, 1997 and includes details of expenses paid or reimbursed by individual expenses paid or reimburse by individual expense component.
