New Councillor Policies

New policies how Fort Frances councillors are reimbursed for meeting they attend on behalf of the hour are now in place.

Council approved the policy at its meeting Monday night.

Human Resources Manager Christine Ruppenstein says a per diem given to councillors to attend meetings has clarified.

"It's been taken out of the travel policy,"says Ruppenstein, "to further reflect that its not necessarily meant just for travel, but is for attendance at functions that have been authorized by resolution."

The report also reflects an increase in salaries for mayor and councillors, effective this December.
