The original plan was for the committee was to explore whether Council members will be getting an increase in their current pay to compensated for the loss of tax free regulation in the national taxation regimen.

Since January 1st the Mayor has been returned to his original salary level, without the benefit of the additional top up from the planning for major projects funding that was originally used to increase his yearly take home income.
That funding had a sunset clause that saw it come to an end on December 31st, 2018.
The most recent pay scale for the Mayor and Council members was posted as part of the 2018 SOFI report last June.
The original plan was for the Select Standing committee review to have taken place during the fall with a conclusion by the end of last year, at some point however Council decided to tie the project in to the city's budget process for 2019.
A Report For Council has yet to be provided to the City Council Agenda for this evening, once they post the details you will be able to find it from page 7 of the Agenda Package.
