Recommendation:
1. That Report FIN 03-25, regarding the Statement of the Treasurer respecting Remuneration
and Expenses of Members of Council and Council Appointees for the year 2024, be
received for information.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to be compliant with Section 284(1) of
the Municipal Act 2001 (the “Act”) which 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.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report
respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Corporate Key: Good Governance/Customer Service
Excellence.
Financial Implications: This report contains no new financial implications as the
expenditures were provided for in the adopted 2024 Current Budget.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to be compliant with Section 284(1) of the
Municipal Act 2001 (the “Act”) which 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.
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.
Report FIN 03-25 March 24, 2025
Subject: Statement of the Treasurer Respecting 2024 Remuneration Page 2
and Expenses of Members of Council and Council Appointees
to Boards, Agencies and Committees
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 Pickering 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.
