Executive Summary: Section 284(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 (the “Act”) states in part that the Treasurer of every municipality shall, in each year, submit to the Council of the municipality, an itemized statement (the “Statement”) of the remuneration and expenses paid to each Member of Council. The statement must also include remuneration and expenses paid to any other person who has been appointed by Council to serve as a member of any body. Financial Implications: This report contains no new financial implications as the expenditures were provided for in the 2022 Current Budget approved by Council. Discussion: Over the past few years, the Statement has evolved to include various categories of expenditures that have been interpreted to be required under the Act and/or financial reporting requirements of the Province of Ontario and professional accounting bodies. The Statement also includes expenses paid on behalf of Members of Council or Committee appointees. This fulfils the intent of the Act by ensuring that all expenses incurred for a Councillor’s benefit are accounted for. The Statement excludes expenditures that are corporate in nature, for example, Council receptions, Committee meeting expenses and City Hall administration and overhead expenses. Remuneration and expenses paid by Elexicon Corporation to Picker ing Council appointees to the Elexicon Board have been included in the Statement . The Act stipulates that any body to which a Council appointment is made must provide the municipality with a statement of remuneration and expenses paid for the year, and this information must be included in the Statement.
