  • Attachment “A” Council Base Pay and Per Diem Discussion January 26, 2020
    Attachment “A” Council Base Pay and Per Diem Discussion January 26, 2020 The one principle that Council established at the December 8th meeting is that that they still want to be paid Base Pay and Per Diems as opposed to a flat rate. The rates still need to be decided as does what will be included in the base pay. 1. What is included in Base Pay? Before Council sets a Base Pay fee, it is best to determine what is included in base pay. Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: There is a clear transparent definition of what base pay is in the policy. That mileage still gets covered for functions that Council lists as base pay. Below are a few snippets from other municipalities regarding Base Pay. Mountain View County Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Lac La Biche County Cypress County 2. Base Pay Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: Does Council still want to receive annual Market Adjustment? A large percentage of municipalities have the COLA adjustment in their policy. Some pay per market. A disadvantage to this is that you have to find municipalities that are comparable and figure out median rate. This may prove difficult as most municipalities pay differently and what is included in pay is different as well. Administration has created a spreadsheet (like the one finance used for tax rate) to plug in percentage of deduction and it will calculate annual savings. Morinville 3. Per Diem Amount Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: Council meetings be considered to be ½ days when the meeting is less than 4 hours.
