Council Remuneration

Council Policy C-CC-03 outlines the process for Council member’s expense reimbursement.

Council members are encouraged to submit monthly expense claims that are posted on a quarterly basis. Administration posts the quarterly expense claims when they have been processed, with a deadline of the 15th of the month following the end of the quarter. If there is an expense claim not posted in the quarter, one of the following may apply:

The claim has not yet been submitted by the Councillor; or
The claim is currently within the approval process and will be posted upon completion of the reviews; or
There are no expenses being claimed for that month.

In accordance with policy C-CC-03 City Council Remuneration and Expense, Council members are asked to submit per diem earnings on an annual basis, as defined below.

Council Members who volunteer to serve, or are elected to serve (on an external board/committee/agency not by appointment of Council) but are eligible for membership by virtue of their position on Council, and receive per diem payments from that organization shall submit an annual report to Council detailing the role, attendance and compensation received. Administration posts the annual report when they have been processed.
