2019 Elected Officials Remuneration Review
The final report from the Elected Officials Advisory Committee (EORAC) is a
comprehensive document that supports the presentation provided to Council in
November 2019. The report outlines in
detail the methodology used and the justification to support the
recommendations.
Council’s decision to have the County
Manager strike an advisory committee made up of ratepayers to review and
provide recommendations on the remuneration for elected officials is a
transparent and fiscally responsible approach to achieve the policy direction
for fair and fiscally responsible compensation for elected officials.
On March 3, 2020 Council directed Administration
to incorporate the financial recommendations outlined in the EORAC report into
the 2020 budget to review the implications.
The complete 2019 Elected Officials Remuneration Review outlines various
recommendations the committee has made for salary and non‑salary components as
well as periodic reviews.
