FROM: Alderman P.F. Ranger G ar | A G

SEP 11 1072

I would like to raise a point with regard to a resolution that was

passed in my absence at ‘the keguler Council meeting of Auguat léth. The

resolution approved the Payment of $45.00 per day for expenses of Aldermen
attending the U.B.C.M. Convention in Vancouver.
The point 4s, that since the Convention ig being held in Vancouver

this year it is possible for Aldermen. to commute, therefore hotel room

‘expenses will not be iricurred, When 1 broached this subject with Council in

Conmittee last week Council expressed the view that $45.00 per day was
justified as this amount would help defray a loss in wages through attendance

at the Convention. It has been my understanding that LE te the policy of

Council to recoup lost. wages from an Alderman's annual indemnity. 1 would

like Council to clarify this policy,
Respectfully,
Alderman Phil Ranger,
