General Information

Role of Council

The ultimate decision-makers in any municipality are those members
who are elected to serve on Municipal Council.

Council Members are elected to represent the interests of their
constituents. County Council is responsible for setting goals for the
County, establishing business plans and setting budgets and policies
for the County. The County Manager, Department Heads and staff are responsible for the day-to day operation of the County. While Councillors
are expected to be aware of the actions, which staff are taking as a
result of the directives of Council as a whole, the members of Council
are not expected to become involved in the day-to-day administration
of the municipality. The respective roles of Council and Administration
are established under the Municipal Government Act.

Council Reimbursements

Effective January 1, 2011, Council decided to take a proactive approach to disclose their timesheet. Previous requests were made through the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP). Timesheets will be provided on a monthly basis for a one year period. Requests out of this scope must be made through the FOIP Act.

Several of the documents provided contained provisions which were severed pursuant to Section 16 (disclosure harmful to personal privacy) of the Freedom of information and Protection of Privacy Act.
