The following recommendation was before Council:
THAT Council approve an annual budget of $3,500 for a Special Advisory Committee Conference Fund. The funding to be allocated as follows:

The above amounts to be made available for members of the Special Advisory Committees of Council to attend local (Lower Mainland) conferences and workshops relative to the business of the respective committee. The funds to be administered by the City Clerk.

The City Manager presented the following alternative recommendation should Council wish to have conference expenses of the Advisory Committee members reimbursed:
THAT Council instruct the Director of Finance to provide an allocation of $3,500 in the Operating Budget beginning in 1998 to be reserved for grant requests for local conference expenses from the Special Advisory Committees and instruct the City Clerk to advise the Special Committees that access to that funding should be by way of individual requests to Council, as necessary.
