ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Date: May 16, 1995
TO: Vancouver City Council
FROM: Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Annual Report on Council Remuneration and Expenses
INFORMATION
The General Manager of Corporate Services submits this
report to Council for INFORMATION.
COUNCIL POLICY
There is no Council policy dealing with the annual reporting of
Council salaries and expenses. However, the Provincial Government
changed the Vancouver Charter in 1993 (section 196A) making
annual reporting of these expenditures in open Council a
requirement.
PURPOSE
A report on Council expenditures must be submitted annually to
Council. This report outlines the remuneration and expenses paid
to Council members in 1994.
DISCUSSION
The following table outlines the remuneration and expenses paid
to Council in 1994. The amounts shown in the travel and training
column of the table are expanded in Appendix I of the report.

Notes:
(1) This allowance is the non-taxable portion of Council
remuneration for out-of-pocket expenses connected with the
discharge of duties related to holding office, and conducting
City business in that regard.
(2) The travel and training expenses have been approved in open
Council. These expenses relate directly to the conduct of City
business as provided for in the Expenses By-law for Members of
Council. See report Appendix I.
(3) The Mayor's automobile allowance is set out in the Expenses
By-law approved by City Council under Section 196(1) of the
Vancouver Charter.
(4) Councillors Bellamy and Kennedy each assumed the position
of Acting Mayor two times in 1994, whereas the other
Councillors assumed that position once. This is the reason for
the difference in income and municipal officers allowance
between them and the other Councillors.
CONCLUSION
The foregoing information is presented to Council in open session
in accordance with the requirements of the Vancouver Charter.
Under those provisions, the City Clerk must make a copy of this
report available for public inspection at City Hall during
regular office hours, from the date the report is considered by
Council until one year after that date.
