The Town of The Blue Mountains (“Town”) Council will be holding a Public Meeting to receive comments on proposed changes to Council’s annual salary effective January 1, 2019. All municipal Councils have a responsibility to periodically review the remuneration provided to their members. Council remuneration was last reviewed in 2018 but has not been adjusted since 2009. In 2018, a Council Compensation Review Committee was established to consider Council remuneration and the Committee initiated its review in 2019. Remuneration for elected officials should be fair and reasonable to both Council and the citizens of the Town.
Notice is hereby given that the Council of The Corporation of the Town of The Blue Mountains, at its regularly scheduled Council Meeting on December 16, 2019, intends to adopt a Council Remuneration Review and increase the remuneration of all Council members effective January 1, 2019.
Committee report FAF.19.187 entitled, “Council Compensation Review” provides additional information regarding the proposed changes. Copies of the Committee report are available through the Town’s website, www.thebluemountains.ca. Please note that, with respect to Council composition and other electoral matters, Council requested staff to provide additional information in the second quarter of 2020. The purpose of the November 13, 2019 Public Meeting is to receive comments regarding Council Remuneration Review 2019.
Written comments are due by November 8, 2019 so that they may be read at the meeting for the benefit of everyone in attendance.
