Expenses incurred by Caledon council members for job-related activities will now be disclosed once a year instead of every quarter.
The change was approved unanimously and without debate at this week’s council meeting.
Town treasurer Dean Ferraro first made a recommendation at the May 6 general committee meeting. Reporting expenses yearly falls in line with the Municipal Act’s annual reporting requirements.
The town reimburses the mayor and council members for some work-related expenses such as cellphones, education and training, community engagement, office supplies, travel and meals.
All expenses related to community engagement are approved by the town clerk and the corporate expense budget is adjusted each year during the town’s budget process.
The current annual expense allowance is $16,000 for the mayor and $6,100 for councillors.
