COUNCILLOR'S COMPENSATION &EXPENSES POLICY Council discussed changes to the Councillor Compensation & Expenses Policy. Councillor A. Eastman indicated that the Council Compensation Review Committee had discussed implementing an annual cost of living increase similar to what is applied to staff salaries. This would allow a gradual increase in Councillor compensation, rather than a large increase every few years. The Committee has also discussed compensation for time between meetings rather than the Councillor having to drive home and back. Discussion followed and information was distributed showing compensation by Councillor, as there is a difference in distances travelled. Regarding the proposed cost of living increase, Councillor C. Amulung suggested that this take effect in 2014, as last year saw an increase to the Councillor base compensation rate. The Chief Administrative Officer noted that the cost of living increase for staff is set according to the union contract. The Councillor Compensation & Expenses Policy will be amended and brought back to a future Council meeting. 50.
