SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING RE-CAP

Town Council met on December 19, 2019 at a Special Council Meeting to discuss Council remuneration rates. Due to changes imposed by the federal government, municipal officials across the country are no longer eligible for a one-third income tax exemption on the remuneration received for their municipal official duties. Because of these changes, Town Council agreed to increase remuneration rates by fourteen percent (14%) to compensate for the increased income tax they will now be expected to pay.

The rates, retroactive for 2019 and 2020 are as follows:

As per Section 39 of The Public Libraries Act (1996) which states “For the purpose of developing the local library in a municipality that participates in a regional library agreement, the councils of the municipalities whose residents use that local library shall appoint a local library board consisting of not less than five and not more than 15 members, including: (a) the regional library board members of each municipality whose residents use the local library; and (b) any other members that the councils of the municipalities appoint on an annual basis,” the Town of Foam Lake invites expressions of interest in sitting on the local library board for a one year term starting January 2020! Expressions of interest from representatives of surrounding communities that utilize the Parkland Regional Library in Foam Lake are encouraged.
