Council is asked to approve a rewritten Mayor and Council Expense and Education Policy and repeal the older Policy on Councillor Attendance at Municipal Events. Changes add continuing education and learning opportunities to what can be claimed, clarify what happens when a member exceeds their individual budget and how events must relate to Council business, and align allowances with the policy that applies to City staff.
