RECOMMENDATION:

THAT THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WELLAND receives for information Report FIN-2018-03
with respect to 2017 Remuneration and Expenditures covering Members of Council.

ORIGIN AND BACKGROUND:

In accordance with Section 284 of the Municipal Act, 2001 and City of Welland By-law 11325 as
amended, Appendix I lists 2017 remuneration for all members of Council.

In accordance with Section 284 of the Municipal Act, 2001 and City of Welland By-law 2008-36,
Appendix 11 summarizes Council expenses for conferences, meetings and seminars attended in
2017.

COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS:

For the Council term December 1, 2016 to November 30, 201 7, the annual stipend for the Mayor
was $53,695 and for each Councillor $15,723. The additional stipend for each comm ittee cha ir is
$1 ,659 per year and for Vice-Mayor is $3,320.

Remuneration reported is for the calendar year 2017.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:

For the year 2017, $245,997 was budgeted for the Mayor and Council remuneration , of which
one-third is considered a non-taxable expense allowance in accordance with Report FIN-2010-

26. The total remuneration paid in 2017 was $243,452 which is under budget by $2,545. When
reviewing the total remuneration paid and the actual general ledger balances for 2017, the
difference is $10,624 (see Appendix I). This difference is largely due to the HST rebate that the
City is eligible for the Mayor's and Councillor's expenses, along with changes in the compos ition
of Council during the year.

The 2017 budget for the Mayor's and Councillor's conferences, meetings and seminars is
$29,925. The expenditures for 2017 amount to $34,562, which is over budget by $4,637.

OTHER DEPARTMENT IMPLICATIONS:

Not applicable.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that Council approves the recommendations in Report FIN-2018-03, providing

information on Council expenditures made in 2017 as required by the Municipal Act, 2001 .
