1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:14,160
All set, Charlie.
All right. Uh being at uh three 302,

2
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:19,039
I'll call the meeting to order. Uh does
any member wish to make an addition to

3
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:22,039
the agenda?
>> Nope.

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:32,000
» Peter, you're muted if you are speaking.
Um

5
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:35,800
hearing or seeing none
I'll ask uh

6
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:48,040
wrong moving bill seconding
any discussion on the agenda

7
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:54,200
seeing none uh I'll call for a vote all
in favor

8
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,800
that's carried

9
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:12,680
Does any member have the declaration of
interest uh related to the agenda

10
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,799
hearing? We're seeing none.
Uh pre previous minutes uh that the

11
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:26,720
minutes of the council renumeration
committee meeting held July 10th, 2025

12
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,880
be approved. Uh looking for a mover and
a seconder.

13
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:38,759
Uh Peter moving Ron seconding. Uh any
discussion on uh the previous minutes

14
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,439
hearing or seeing none. Uh call for
vote. All in favor approve those

15
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:52,479
minutes.
That's carried.

16
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,640
We're down to staff reports. I'll just
read the recommendation of the staff

17
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:01,759
report for now and then ask for a moving
mover and a seconder and then I'll turn

18
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:06,240
it over to staff to briefly comment and
then we can have any discussion

19
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:12,759
thereafter. Um so the the recommendation
at this point is that report COR

20
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,759
20225-029

21
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:18,959
summary of historical council council
renumeration be received for

22
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:27,360
information.
I ask for a mover and a seconder.

23
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:33,200
I got Bill and then Ron
um there'll turn it over to staff to uh

24
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:39,040
provide any discussion. Is that you
Samantha? It is. Yes. Thank you. And

25
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:44,560
through your chair, we provide
>> I don't think

26
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,720
» anyone else here
you can.

27
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,599
» Yep.
>> Okay. Let me just see if I've got

28
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,720
something screwed up here.
>> Okay. I'll just pause for a moment.

29
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:07,959
else in disco.

30
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,159
» Try again.
>> Can you hear me now?

31
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,239
» Testing.
>> I can hear you fine.

32
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,519
» I'm coming through the
>> I can hear you fine, Smith.

33
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:36,720
Oh,
>> okay. Can you hear us hear me now Brad?

34
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:41,120
» Now I can now now I can hear you.
>> Okay. So thank you through you. I'll

35
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:46,239
just quickly summarize this report. So
what we have prepared for the committee

36
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:53,120
today is historical information related
to council renumeration. So we do have

37
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:58,640
their renumeration rates using 2021 as
our base rate. Uh the latest council

38
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:05,040
renumeration policy did cover the 2022
to 2025 rates. Included in that was the

39
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,920
recommendation that council renumeration
be increased at the same rate as the

40
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,480
non-union township staff. So those
historical rates are provided in that

41
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:20,160
graph for you. I also included the
mileage per kilometer reimbursement rate

42
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:26,080
as we've been following the CRA mileage
rates for those.

43
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:31,360
In addition to council meetings, we've
also summarized the meetings for which

44
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,600
predems may be paid that are not
township of Georgia and Bluffs meetings.

45
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:40,560
So we do have our elected officials
appointed to various boards that they do

46
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:46,160
also receive PDM and mileage
reimbursement for their attendance at

47
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:51,120
these. Part of this committee is also
going to be inadvertently setting the

48
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:56,800
PDUM rate for any citizen members that
we may have on our boards. That can

49
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:00,800
include a committee such as this. It can
include a property standards committee,

50
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:04,800
inner township fire department or
committee of adjustment. So, we just

51
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,800
wanted to highlight some of those other
committees.

52
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,120
By virtue of their elected title, the
mayor and deputy mayor are also on

53
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:19,360
county council. However, they are
renumerated through the county and there

54
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:25,120
is no impact to the township on that.
Some non-reneumerationbased

55
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,680
benefits that they do receive is they do
have directors of officers insurance

56
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,039
that they are covered under. They are
members of the township's OMR's program.

57
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:39,360
They do receive reimbursement for any
out-ofpocket meals and professional

58
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:45,280
development. Each member does have a
$4,000 professional development

59
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:48,800
allotment how they can use as they see
fit. This may be a combination of

60
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:55,520
seminars. It could be attendance at
conference meetings and could be small

61
00:05:52,639 --> 00:06:01,919
other sessions that they find beneficial
for their capacity as elected official.

62
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:07,600
The township also provides them and pays
for a phone and a tablet. And for our

63
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:13,840
counselors, they do also receive a
internet allowance to re uh compensate

64
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:18,639
their home internet costs.
The mayor and deputy mayor historically

65
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:24,160
have not received this.
Um each year under the mistell act, the

66
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:30,000
treasurer is required to summarize the
amounts paid to or on behalf of uh

67
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:36,800
members of council. So, we have included
the 2024, 23, and 2022 amounts, and

68
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:42,360
there are links to those direct reports.
I'm happy to answer any questions if

69
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,360
there are any about this.

70
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,600
» Any questions from committee members?

71
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,800
» Nope.

72
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:57,800
Okay. Thanks, Samantha.

73
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:14,080
So, I guess at this point I'll call for
a vote on the staff report.

74
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:20,560
Uh, all in favor to receive it.
Uh, that's carried.

75
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:25,039
Next reports uh CO2
uh 202530

76
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:28,800
uh municipal comparators for council
remuneration.

77
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,000
Again, I'll read the recommendation, ask
for remover,

78
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:36,479
turn it over to staff, and then we can
have any discussion should there need to

79
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:41,360
be. um that the committee direct staff
to seek further information relation to

80
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:47,440
council benefits and remuneration from
the same 10 competitors used for 2025

81
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:52,440
non-UN staff pay equity and compensation
review. I'll ask for a mover.

82
00:07:52,800 --> 00:08:03,280
Uh Ron and a seconder, Bill
and uh uh turn it over to who's speaking

83
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,280
to this one? Is this you again,
Samantha?

84
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:14,080
» It is. Yes. So, thank you through your
chair. Throughout 2025, uh we are

85
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:19,520
undertaking a non-union staff pay equity
and compensation review. So council has

86
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:26,400
been involved with that process. So they
were involved in selecting our matrix

87
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:31,199
that we took into account different um
considerations such as population size,

88
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:36,080
annual budgets, staff complement,
average home assessment and the living

89
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:42,640
wage catchment.
And so we compared that to 21

90
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:48,160
municipalities that were similar
we felt and then it did result in a top

91
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:53,680
10 which was also endorsed and approved
by council. We also have included here

92
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:59,200
the municipalities that were used for
the 2022 and 2025

93
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,680
uh council renumeration committee. Many
of these municipalities I believe there

94
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:08,640
might have been one was not included in
the matrix that we had used when

95
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:14,959
presenting it for the non-union staff
component. Um the top 10 comparators

96
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:19,120
that we are suggesting this committee
move forwards with is the municipality

97
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:24,000
of Aaron Eldersley, municipality of
Meford, town of South Bruce Peninsula,

98
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:28,720
Municipality of West Gray, Municipality
of Brockton, town of Sagin Shores,

99
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:33,760
Township of Hiron Kimlo, Township of
Southgate, Municipality of Grey

100
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:38,320
Highlands, and the town of Mento.
As the committee, you are welcome to

101
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:43,519
adjust, change these comparators as you
see fit. staff are recommending we can

102
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,560
maintain consistency with that that is
used as non-union staff.

103
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:56,040
» Great. Uh thank you Samantha. Any
questions from committee members?

104
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:06,320
See I have a a couple uh about three
questions. Samantha,

105
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:10,720
um,
does it make sense for us to use county

106
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:16,880
to grade or can we maybe just use them
as a reference point just to kind of

107
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:20,880
base it to is one question. Maybe I'll
give you all three my questions. You can

108
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,640
answer them collectively if you want.
Um, geographically, I'm wondering

109
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,120
whether we should include sogging
shores. uh just to provide uh since

110
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:33,760
we're going all the way out to town of
Blue Mountains, I thought maybe so

111
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:40,240
shores is relatively close and I think
their council size is similar.

112
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:44,560
And then the next question was when we
actually do gather the data, can we make

113
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:49,279
sure we gather
um the number of council members for

114
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:53,519
each of those communities?
Because I think a point I'd made

115
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,839
previous the previous meeting was that
there might be that potential for you

116
00:10:56,079 --> 00:11:01,040
know the workload to be distributed
differently depending upon how many

117
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:06,800
counselors are. So a council of five
might have more work than a council of

118
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:11,680
seven and say vice versa.
>> Brad did you say we should include the

119
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:14,399
town of Sagen shores?
>> Yeah I don't think it was in the list I

120
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:22,880
saw.
>> I think it is number six in the list.

121
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:31,079
Oh, okay.
>> Well, unless we have a different um

122
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,079
different agendas, I don't think so.

123
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:38,320
» So, through your chair, um town of Sing
Shores is one that st of the 10 that

124
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:44,079
staff are recommending. Um Blue
Mountains was used during the 2022 to

125
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,079
25. So, there is kind of two lists in
the report.

126
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,680
» Yeah.
Um, I was mixing up the list. That's the

127
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:51,519
thing.
>> No worries.

128
00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:52,800
» That's what I was doing. Mixing those
up.

129
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:56,880
» No worries.
>> Then then I would suggest my my my other

130
00:11:55,519 --> 00:12:01,440
comment would be then, does it
appropriate for us to be using Town of

131
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:05,279
Mento? It's pretty far and I think Town
of Mento will get a little bit of that

132
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:12,240
influence
uh from from larger urban centers. So

133
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:15,720
maybe that's the question. I'll flip it
around a little bit.

134
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:28,639
So through you town of Mento
received 87 points when we applied the

135
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:33,839
metrics to them. They are number 10. So
if the committee wishes to reduce or

136
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:38,720
swap out any of the 10 comparators,
you're welcome to. Um you had asked

137
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:43,440
about the county,
you're welcome to use the county. Um the

138
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:47,920
services provided at a county level can
differ and workloads can and may differ

139
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,360
from a county perspective opposed to a
lower tier, but we can definitely

140
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:57,040
request the information if that is what
the committee would like.

141
00:12:53,360 --> 00:13:04,639
» Samantha, what was the 11th um
you said the Mento was 10 with 87. What

142
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:08,320
what's the the one after that
>> through your chair? Just bear with me. I

143
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:13,480
don't remember if own sound was next or
Chhatzsworth was next, but they were the

144
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,480
next two.

145
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:21,079
» Samantha, is there any way that you can
pull up the um comparator matrix?

146
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:29,959
» Bear with me. It is large and multiple
pages. So, I will try.

147
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,959
» Thank you.

148
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Is everyone able to see?
>> Yeah,

149
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:04,320
» we do see your screen.
>> Y

150
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:09,120
» Oh, I'm just going to try to zoom out
bit. It is six pages. So, when the

151
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,480
committee would like a page change,
please let me know.

152
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,720
You can move pages as far as I can.

153
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:41,320
Okay.
Yep.

154
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,560
Okay.
>> Okay.

155
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,560
» So,

156
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:13,040
» so Samantha, there there would be the
question. The township of Chadzsworth

157
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:18,240
was 86 and the town of Mento is 87, but
we're going to recommend Mento over

158
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:22,560
Chadzsworth, which is our neighbor.
Uh, I I'm a little bit like you, Brad. I

159
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:28,120
would probably say I would take
Chadzsworth as a competitor over Mento

160
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,120
when they're so close.

161
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:35,639
» Can we just add Chazworth to the list to
keep Mento in there just for numbers

162
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:35,639
sake?

163
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,480
Okay. Can you can you continue on
Samantha?

164
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:07,079
» Okay. Okay. You can continue.

165
00:16:18,079 --> 00:16:23,880
Or is that That's it.
>> That's page six.

166
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,880
» Yeah.

167
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:41,959
thoughts by the committee in terms of uh
either removing Mento or adding

168
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:41,959
Chadzsworth.

169
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:53,360
» I I think it would make sense to swap
out Mento for Chadzsworth.

170
00:16:48,880 --> 00:17:00,079
um given its proximity to us and the
fact that there's only one point

171
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:07,839
difference in the scoring I think it um
you know maybe Brad to your point it may

172
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:14,280
be more um similar to to our our area
than than Mento

173
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:14,280
that would be my thought.

174
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:22,319
Any other comments or discussion?
>> Yeah, my only

175
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:25,360
» I
>> Sorry, Ron.

176
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:29,200
» Go ahead. Go ahead, Peter. I'll talk
after you.

177
00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:34,000
» I I was just going to say uh
adding Chadzsworth makes sense, but um

178
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:39,039
we might as well leave Mento in there
since it's a valid comparison as well.

179
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:44,919
It's little stressed geographically, but
um more information is sometimes better

180
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,919
than less. So,

181
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,600
» yeah, my only
about adding Chadzsworth is the comp

182
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:54,880
council composition size is different
um when they only have five members

183
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:58,640
versus the council composition in
Georgia Bluffs is significantly

184
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:03,760
different from a workload perspective.
So we may get different comparators from

185
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:10,919
a workload um on a PDM basis at
Chadzsworth versus here. That would be

186
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,919
my only hesitation about adding them in.

187
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,440
» Sorry, how many

188
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:21,960
Sorry, the only

189
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,320
» go ahead.
>> Are we done with the screen so I can see

190
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,360
everybody's picture again? Because it's
just hard to see everybody in a smaller

191
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,320
screen.
>> There we go. Super. Sorry.

192
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:37,760
Uh, who was trying to speak? I couldn't
quite catch it.

193
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:43,919
» Um, it was me. And I I was just going to
say I I should know this, but how many

194
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:48,440
counselors do we have? I thought we had
five as well, but I'm probably wrong.

195
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:58,080
» Through your chair, we have a mayor,
deputy mayor, and five counselors. So,

196
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:02,400
it is a group of seven.
>> Chadzsworth is a mayor, deputy mayor,

197
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:06,919
and three counselors. So, a total
composition of five.

198
00:19:03,919 --> 00:19:06,919
» Okay.

199
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,280
on your the information being provided
for the different municipalities. Are

200
00:19:17,679 --> 00:19:22,679
you including the the populations in
there as well?

201
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:34,400
» Directed to Samantha, sorry through you.
Population size is something that was

202
00:19:31,919 --> 00:19:40,400
looked at when determining their score.
I don't believe the Oh, it does have the

203
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:43,799
actual population size included on the
matrix summary.

204
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:16,000
If you're looking for a recommendation,
Mr. Chair, I would just recommend that

205
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,480
we move forward with the 10 that are on
the staff report

206
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:32,600
» or did we want to adjust on?
Did we Did we lose Brad?

207
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,159
» We might have lost him.

208
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:52,480
» Could be rural internet issues.
>> Is there any um downside to having 11 or

209
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:58,799
is there any requirement that you must
have 10?

210
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:03,520
My my only concern, Bill, is that the um
pay equity staff ratings that they the

211
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:08,000
township used, these are the 10
comparators that they use. And for

212
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:14,320
consistency sake, if we use the same 10
comparators, then we're comparing apples

213
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:17,919
to apples versus trying to change that.
>> That's fair.

214
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:21,760
» Yeah. Although Jazworth was only one
point difference on the scoring, right?

215
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:24,880
» Yeah. And my only hesitation, Peter,
about them is it's a different size

216
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,799
council.
>> Yeah, we can take that into account

217
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:32,679
though.
>> Yeah, the workload is significantly

218
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,679
different for five versus seven.

219
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,799
[Music]

220
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:53,679
» And Brad's gone deaf.
>> Yeah. Carly, are you there, too? You're

221
00:21:51,120 --> 00:22:00,000
on mute.
>> Yes, I am here. Apologies.

222
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:04,679
» Brad, are you back?
>> No, he just says he can't hear anyone in

223
00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:04,679
chat.

224
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:17,760
We uh we could have a brief recess to
see if our chair can regain his audio

225
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,159
capability if that's okay with the the
committee.

226
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,360
» Yes, that'd be fine.
>> Yeah,

227
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:27,240
» you can hear me.
>> We can hear you. Yeah,

228
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:31,550
[Music]

229
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:40,400
» yeah, I can't hear you. for whatever
reason. So, Bill, maybe you should take

230
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,520
over the chair, if you don't mind. Or
who was it? No, Peter, who was the who

231
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,280
was the vice chair?
>> Wrong.

232
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,280
» Yeah,
>> you take over because I can't hear you

233
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:54,799
guys and I'll figure out why my sound's
not working.

234
00:22:51,039 --> 00:23:00,200
» Um maybe we'll just pause and and Brad
can um disconnect and reconnect.

235
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,080
» Sure.
>> If that's okay with committee members.

236
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:15,760
Okay, that sounds great. So, we'll take
a brief recess to allow um Chair

237
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:20,640
McRoberts to leave the meeting and um
pop back on and then in the meantime um

238
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:23,679
Mr. Vice Chair, I will send you the
meeting script if we cannot resolve

239
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,679
those issues.
>> Okay.

240
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:05,799
Brad, you're back. Can you hear us?

241
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:28,640
» Can you hear me? You can hear me, right?
>> Yeah. I can't hear you.

242
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:34,640
All right,
carry on. You stay take over Ron for

243
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,640
chair. I'll try to keep figuring this
out.

244
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,840
» So,
Carly, can you send me the script?

245
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,600
» It should be on its way over to you.
>> Okay, thanks.

246
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:02,679
Okay.

247
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:12,159
So, we are at 52 about the municipal
comparators for council renumeration

248
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:17,919
and we do have a mover and a seconder
for the committee direct seat staff on

249
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:22,640
the 10 comparators that we just listed.
Um,

250
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:26,840
is there any recommendations that we
want to change the 10 comparators?

251
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:38,200
» I I'd still like to see Chadsworth in
there if we can do that. If we can go to

252
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,200
11.

253
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:44,919
» So Samantha or Carly, is there an issue
of us going to 11

254
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:51,840
» through your chair? There is no issue
with us requesting the information from

255
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:56,960
an additional municipality.
>> Okay. So, uh, Bill, are you okay with

256
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,200
that?
>> Uh, yes.

257
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:06,080
» Okay. So, then we'll modify the
recommendation to have the renumeration

258
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:11,360
from the 10 comparators used in the 2025
non-UN payroll Canadian compensation

259
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:15,039
review and include the township of
Chadford.

260
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:19,919
Is that all right to do it that way,
Carly? with regards to the motion

261
00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:23,679
» uh through you, Mr. Chair. It can be
done formally as an amendment, but I'm

262
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:28,480
also happy for it to be informal if if
the committee consents to that.

263
00:26:26,159 --> 00:26:33,279
» Okay, let's do it informally. We'll do
it that way. Uh all those in favor of

264
00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:38,440
the the motion put forward with regards
to the staff report of the 10

265
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,440
comparators plus chassis

266
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:46,000
motions carried.
Uh item number 5.3, the council

267
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:52,000
renumeration committee council interview
questions.

268
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:56,320
Um the recommendation is that the 2026
2030 council renumeration committee

269
00:26:53,919 --> 00:27:00,480
council interview questions as appended
to this report be approved 72 amendments

270
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:04,159
by the committee and that staff be
directed to proceed with arranging

271
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:09,799
interviews with members of council to
inform the committee work. I'll ask for

272
00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:09,799
a mover and a seconder.

273
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:17,679
Moved by Bill,
second by Peter.

274
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:23,200
I'll turn this over to staff for their
brief comment.

275
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:28,400
» Thank you, Mr. Chair. Through you. So, I
have put together some questions just

276
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:33,600
based on what's been asked of council
members in in these interviews in the

277
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:39,520
past. Um, so what I've included is just
a jumping off point for the committee

278
00:27:35,679 --> 00:27:44,000
and, um, with any additions or deletions
that the committee would like to see,

279
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:47,120
uh, I'm more than happy to make those.
Um, and just for your information as

280
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:53,520
well, I am currently working with
members of council and I have interviews

281
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:57,919
lined up between August 8th and 20th. So
um once these questions are finalized I

282
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:04,399
will formalize those um meetings in
everybody's calendar and um we can go

283
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:08,640
from there but uh completely up to the
committee in terms of what they would

284
00:28:05,679 --> 00:28:12,720
like to see with this questionnaire. So
happy to take any any feedback or

285
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:17,840
suggested revisions.
>> Okay. Discussion from the committee

286
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:21,760
members on the questionnaire.
>> Um

287
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:29,039
just one question. These are the same
questions that were used um uh in the 20

288
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:36,559
I think it was 20 whatever um the the
previous um committee or has there been

289
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:41,360
additions or changes
>> through you Mr. Chair? They are the

290
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:48,720
essentially the same questions that were
asked in 2022. I've made some uh some

291
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:52,799
brief language adjustments as well as um
added an opportunity for any general

292
00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:57,039
comments about remuneration that weren't
captured in the the beginning of the

293
00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:01,600
questionnaire. So I have made slight
changes but no really substantial

294
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:08,360
changes to the questionnaire. So it is
very consistent with what has been asked

295
00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:08,360
in previous years in those interviews.

296
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,880
» Peter would uh

297
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:23,120
under under the special events. Uh could
we add in an additional question there?

298
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,640
Um basically would they have attended
the event if they weren't on council? So

299
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:31,760
if this is something they would have
gone to anyways. And then a final

300
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,799
question on the questionnaire I'd like
is uh if they feel the level of

301
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:43,679
compensation they're currently receiving
is fair, high, low. um just ask the

302
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,200
people who are getting paid what they
think of what they're getting paid.

303
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:51,440
» Okay, great. And is the committee okay
with that being added sort of under the

304
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:56,000
other topic just kind of as general
feedback?

305
00:29:54,240 --> 00:30:01,039
» Yes, I am. I actually had that same
question. So that's uh I think that's a

306
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:08,039
that's a good question to get their
thoughts on on uh their their uh their

307
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:08,039
compensation.

308
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:13,640
and and uh Okay.

309
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:27,520
So, Carly, I'd also like to leave it
open for if Brad has any additional

310
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:33,039
comments on the questionnaire that we
can add them into it.

311
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:37,760
Um he may have some other uh opportunity
observations in the questionnaire. I I

312
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:41,520
think the questionnaire is is uh
comprehensive and we'll certainly get

313
00:30:39,679 --> 00:30:48,440
the feedback from council members as we
go through it. Um any other discussion

314
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,440
on the questionnaire?

315
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:54,440
Seeing none, all those in favor
including the two additions.

316
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:02,000
Uh that's carried.
Uh item number six, unfinished business.

317
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:06,080
We don't have any. Item number seven,
there's no new business. Item number

318
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:10,159
eight, the date of the next regular
meeting to determine the committee um

319
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:14,399
and allow the board to discuss possible
dates for the next meeting. And you said

320
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:20,159
Carly that we've got a series of
meetings between the 8th and the 20th.

321
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:24,720
So I would
>> go ahead you Mr. Chair. I was just

322
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:29,919
confirming that yes um the individual
interviews will be scheduled um between

323
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:34,159
those dates and of course the we're
welcoming the the committee to schedule

324
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:39,519
their next meeting at at a time that
works best for them. So um just keeping

325
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:44,080
in mind that there may also um need to
be some time for data collection for our

326
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:50,559
treasurer and I to work through and
collect that comparator data.

327
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:55,120
» So I was going to ask you um on a timing
standpoint. So our next committee we'd

328
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:59,120
be looking at the 10 comparators
information would we also have an

329
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:03,960
opportunity to see the summary of
comments um from the council

330
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,960
questionnaire

331
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:11,039
» for you Mr. chair, depending on when the
meeting occurs, there is a possibility

332
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,880
that we could have all that feedback on
the agenda.

333
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:20,720
» Uh considering we have to have this done
all by and in October,

334
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:24,080
I'm suggesting that the next meeting
probably has to be sometime early

335
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:28,640
September.
Um but would that give you guys enough

336
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:32,480
time to put all that information
together for us?

337
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:36,320
» Sure. You Mr. Chair, I'll allow the
treasurer to also chime in. But from the

338
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,159
interview questionnaire response
perspective, um I do believe that that

339
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:45,919
would be sufficient time for us to have
those um responses summarized for the

340
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,919
committee's information.
>> Um

341
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:59,919
so I'm looking at, you know, is Tuesday
a good good day for committee members?

342
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:04,399
uh either the 2nd of September or the
9th of September. Which would be better

343
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:07,600
for staff?
>> Second. The holiday, isn't it? Don't

344
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,720
know what that first is.
>> First,

345
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:16,640
» first is second would work. Second would
work best for me because I'm away uh the

346
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:18,960
rest of September. So,
>> okay.

347
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,080
» If we could do the second, that would be
perfect.

348
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,679
» Can you hear us again, Brad?
>> I can hear you now. Yes.

349
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:32,240
» Okay, good.
Um, uh, does the 2nd of September work

350
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:37,519
for everyone, including staff?
>> So, why don't we plan the 2nd of

351
00:33:33,919 --> 00:33:42,440
September at 3 p.m.
the next committee meeting?

352
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:54,000
» I have a mover as second
moved by Peter and seconded by Bill.

353
00:33:52,159 --> 00:33:57,000
There's no discussion. All those in
favor?

354
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:05,760
And um
and now I'll call for a vote to move for

355
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:11,520
an adjournment.
Moved by Peter, seconded by Bill.

356
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,520
All those in favor.
