Summary

City Council on February 19 and 20, 2014, referred Motion MM48.22 to the Executive Committee.

Members’ compensation is governed by the provisions of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 223. Members’ salaries are increased annually on January 1^st by the increase in Statistics Canada’s Toronto Consumer Price Index, as calculated by the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer and based on the previous year’s average.

Members of Council should set the example and forgo their salary increase for the balance of the 2014 Council term in order to demonstrate a commitment to controlling expenditures.

Council should consider this matter as soon as possible in order to maximize the resulting financial benefits.

(Submitted to City Council on February 19 and 20, 2014 as MM48.22)
