    1. Although this Committee’s mandate covers the period after the next election of Council in late 2021 onwards, we note that unprecedented circumstances stemming from COVID-19 have skewed the Alberta Average Weekly Earnings (“AWE”) calculation normally used to determine Council pay adjustments. We therefore recommend no salary adjustment, up or down, for Calgary members of Council in 2021.
    2. Notwithstanding the current misalignment, the AWE index should continue to be used to adjust Council’s annual salary, based on a monthly AWE average from September to September each year, as approved by Council in 2012. (See Appendix 3 for a calculation example.)
    3. Provide the members of Council with Workers Compensation Benefits coverage.
    4. On a go-forward basis, discontinue credited service in the Supplementary Pension Plan, while preserving accrued benefits.
    5. Amend the current Transition Allowance as follows (prospective basis only; no changes to earned and accrued benefits):
      • If a member of Council leaves voluntarily (i.e. chooses not to stand for re-election, retires, resigns), cap payable amount of Transition Allowance at 2 weeks per year of service to a maximum of 26 weeks.
      • No other changes to Transition Allowance.

Submitted by: Councillor Woolley

With a General election coming in 2021 I am wondering if/how City of Calgary employees are engaged around the rules and expectations on becoming involved in the wide range of opportunities to participate in the democratic process?

I have been made aware that City of Calgary staff have been discouraged from volunteering on political campaigns or donating to political campaigns and would like some clarity from the City Manager and Administration on employee participation in the democratic process.
