Procedure surrounding remuner-ation for Huron County Councillorswas questioned by currentcouncillors, saying it mightdiscourage younger members of the public from getting involvedwith politics.While the recommendation beforecouncil at the Nov. 10 meeting of the Committee of the Whole was toestablish remuneration rates for theupcoming term of council, HuronEast Mayor Joe Seili questioned the
per diem and honorarium levels.
He said that because of family
commitments or full-time
employment, some council members
have sometimes not attended the 75
per cent of the meetings that are
required to ensure the $4,000
honorarium is paid to the councillor.
Seili recalled a year when he
missed the 75 per cent mark by one
per cent due to a service call through
his business at Huron Feeding
Systems in Brussels and lost out on
the entire honorarium.
Seili said that honorarium should
be paid out on a percentage basis. Ifa councillor attends 70 per cent ofthe meetings, they should be paid 70per cent of their honorarium.
He said that it was unfair to lose
out on his entire honorarium because
of that service call and that a similar
situation would discourage young
councillors from getting involved
due to their employment
commitments.
Councillor John Grace agreed,
saying “it discourages young people
from getting involved with upper-
tier municipal politics.
The remuneration recommenda-
tion was tabled until the new council
comes in in December, so they can
vote on it themselves.
