Citizen committee will review council pay
As is standard practice before general elections, the City of Meadow Lake will review its council indemnity policy.
Council voted in favour of appointing a committee during their June 10 meeting and will now look for members of the public to be on that committee.
“The purpose of this process is to allow council to remove themselves as much as possible from the determination of council remuneration in order to balance transparency, fiscal responsibility, and the ability to attract and fairly compensate a diverse range of candidates to public office,” explained city clerk Gabrielle Marsh in the request for decision that was given to council for a vote.
The last time a review was done was in 2020.
