Main motion at the Combined Meeting of Council, November 2, 2020. Carried 14–0.
Resolution
That with respect to Report C2020-1081 the following be adopted: The Council adopt the Council Compensation Committee recommendations as follows: 1. Although this Committee’s mandate covers the period after the next election of Council in late 2021 onwards, we note that unprecedented circumstances stemming from COVID-19 have skewed the Alberta Average Weekly Earnings (“AWE”) calculation normally used to determine Council pay adjustments. We therefore recommend no salary adjustment, up or down, for Calgary members of Council in 2021. 2. Notwithstanding the current misalignment, the AWE index should continue to be used to adjust Council’s annual salary, based on a monthly AWE average from September to September each year, as approved by Council in 2012. (See Appendix 3 for a calculation example.) 3. Provide the members of Council with Workers Compensation Benefits coverage. 4. On a go-forward basis, discontinue credited service in the Supplementary Pension Plan, while preserving accrued benefits. 5. Amend the current Transition Allowance as follows (prospective basis only; no changes to earned and accrued benefits): o If a member of Council leaves voluntarily (i.e. chooses not to stand for re-election, retires, resigns), cap payable amount of Transition Allowance at 2 weeks per year of service to a maximum of 26 weeks. o No other changes to Transition Allowance.
