Compensation Review Committee
Council Report C 228/2017 recommended that a full review of Council compensation be completed by the Council Compensation Review Committee with a mandate of recommending updated elected official remuneration in time for the new term of Council. The review had been prompted by the elimination of the 1/3 Elected Official Tax-Free Remuneration in 2019 and the need for a mechanism to regularly adjust elected officials’ base pay.
Based on the Council Compensation Review Committee’s recommendations, Council approved base salaries for the Mayor and Council for 2019, with increases equal to the annual percentage increase afforded to Non-Union employees.
Further, Council passed Decision Number: CR632/2018
1. That City Council BE REQUESTED to strike a new committee to review compensation for the Mayor and Council for every term of Council (every four
years) at mid-term on a go forward basis starting in 2020.
2. That the Policy of elected officials not claiming personal mileage within Windsor-Essex BE CONTINUED.
