Title
Policy Revision - Council Expenses C-AD24
Proposed Motion(s)
That Council Expenses Policy C-AD24 be approved as presented.
Body
Administration Recommendation(s)
Administration supports the proposed motion.
Purpose
To establish a specific resource to automatically adjust meal rates annually.
Summary
Council Expense Policy C-AD24 is revised to reflect the correct position responsible to adjust mileage and meal rates, and have the County’s meal rates correspond to a specific entity’s meal rates.
Administration examined the meal rates of comparator municipalities and the provincial and federal government. Administration considers the meal rates presented by the Treasury Board of Canada to best reflect the expenses incurred by Council members and employees in conducting their County responsibilities.
Administration recommends the Treasury Board of Canada meal rates be used to adjust the County’s meal rates annually, and that Council’s expense policy be amended to reflect this change.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications (As Required)
Enhanced employee productivity by saving time previously used to conduct the annual survey of meal rates.
