About the disclosure of Members' office expenses
Members of Council are provided an annual Constituency Services Budget, which is used to administer their offices, conduct meetings, communicate with residents and other stakeholders, and support and promote activities in their communities, including representing the City at functions, events and conferences. It is also used to pay staff and individuals who provide professional services to a Member's office.
Members' expenditures are governed by the City's Council Expense Policy. This policy provides guidance to Members of Council on the expenditures that support them in fulfilling their statutory duties as elected officials.
In a municipal election year, and in relation to a municipal by-election, certain restrictions are placed on Members’ office budgets and the allowable expenses that can be incurred. These restrictions are set out in the Election-Related Resources Policy and its supporting Election-Related Blackout Period Procedures.
The City is committed to fair, transparent and responsible financial practices, as detailed in the Council Expense Policy. As such, Member of Council Office monthly and annual total expenses are proactively disclosed and made available online.
Please note that the expenses disclosed online are presented in a manner that ensures that personal information is protected. Summaries and itemized office expenses are disclosed once proper accounting and reconciliation of expenses has taken place.
