Title
Farewell Gifts for Council Members Policy C-AD50
Proposed Motion(s)
That Council approve revised Farewell Gifts for Council Members Policy C-AD50 (previously referred to as Policy AD-050), as presented.
Body
Administration Recommendation(s)
Administration supports the recommendation.
Purpose
The revisions to the policy allow flexibility with gift choices as farewell gifts for Council members. The previous policy specified what should be purchased as gifts, i.e., pen set, engraved clock, artwork. The revised policy provides gift limits only. Additionally the scope of this policy was amended to clarify the policy applies to members of Council only.
Summary
Administration has reviewed the current policy and is recommending that the scope of the policy be clarified and references to specific gift items be removed from the policy. The Governance and Priorities Committee reviewed the policy at its December 11, 2012 meeting, with no concerns or further changes.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications
Parkland County's Strategic Plan values leadership. By providing farewell gifts to members of Council, the County is showing its appreciation and respect for the leadership that our elected officials have provided.
