CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS

COUNCIL POLICY

Section 206 (i) of the Vancouver Charter provides that Council may, by resolution pass by not less than two-thirds of all its members, provide for the making of money grants to any association comprised of municipalities to which the Council deems it is in the interest of the City to belong, or assist.

Grants require eight affirmative votes.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

The FCM and UBCM have invoiced the City for their 2000-2001 membership fees, which are now due.

(a) FEDERATION OF CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES

This represents an increase of $1028 (2%) over last year. The additional cost is based on a population of 514008 @ 9.8 cents per capita and a base fee of $100.

(b) UNION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA MUNICIPALITIES

This represents an increase of $497.81 (1.4%) over last year. UBCM dues are calculated using the population estimates (for grant purposes) of BC STATS, a division of the Ministry of Finance and Corporate Relations.

No GST applies to these membership fees.
