County to pick up tab for FCM, AMO reps

County council has endorsed a recommendation from its administration, finance and personnel committee to pick up the costs for councillors sitting on federal and provincial boards.

Council made that decision on March 29.

It also endorsed councillor Joanne Ross-Zuj in her bid for re-election to the board of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) in June.

The recommendation was that the county assume all of Ross-Zuj’s costs to attend the meeting. Council also agreed to cover costs for councillor Don McKay if he is elected to the FCM board.

Finally, council agreed it would cover all costs for councillor John Green in his role with the county caucus of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
