2 LEAVE OF ABSENCE

The need has been identified for development of a protocol to clarify a Councillor’s entitlement to payment of allowances and expenses where that Councillor takes extended leave of absence: specifically for a period exceeding two (2) months . To that end, I recommend that the following resolution be carried at this month’s Ordinary meeting:
