City Council Decision
City Council on May 22 and 23, 2024, adopted the following:
1. Notwithstanding City Council’s decision regarding honoraria for Council Advisory Bodies in Part 277 of Item 2021.EX21.2 - 2021 Capital and Operating Budgets, City Council amend Section B, Composition and Term, of the Terms of Reference for the Housing Rights Advisory Committee by amending Part 7 to add the words “or working group” after the words “per meeting”, and deleting the words “Honoraria payments will be available to the maximum number of meetings approved by City Council for the Advisory Committee, as specified in this Terms of Reference”, so that Part 7 now reads as follows:
7. Advisory Committee public members will be eligible to receive an honorarium of $125.00 per meeting or working group attended in recognition of the contributions they are providing to Toronto. The Advisory Committee's honoraria payments are subject to the following:
a. honoraria are not intended for public members who serve on the Advisory Committee as
representatives of organizations or businesses where they are employed;
b. public members who serve as the Chair or Vice-Chair of the Advisory Committee are not eligible for any additional honoraria; and
c. honoraria are not paid for attendance at sub-committee meetings or events.
