Report Number: FIN 03-16
Date: March 7, 2016
Statement of the Treasurer Respecting 2015 Remuneration and Expenses
of Members of Council and Council Appointees to Boards, Agencies and
Committees
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Report FIN 03-16 of the Director, Corporate Services & City
Solicitor regarding the Statement of the Treasurer respecting Remuneration and
Expenses of Members of Council and Council Appointees for the year 2015 be received
for information.
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 2015 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.

stipulates that any body to which a Council appointment is made must provide the

information must be included in the Statement. Expenses paid by several other bodies
to which Council makes appointments have also been included in the Statement.
The amounts paid by the Region of Durham to Regional Councillors are not included in
