The committee received 659 responses during the first phase of engagement to shape Thunder Bay city council. The committee will next meet on April 2.
THUNDER BAY – The Council Composition Committee is satisfied with the initial public feedback regarding the size and scope of future councils.
“It would have been nice to have more of the younger population in the survey, but we do have a good broad overview of what the community thinks, which is important,” Johnson added. “The average salary of a councillor is approximately $42,000. You are not going to get someone elected that will work full-time for that salary, so we will have to take a look at that,” Johnson said.
“We will then have an open house to share with as many people as possible the basic information and facts to allow more of the community to weigh in and ask further questions before we as a committee make any hard decisions towards what we want to recommend.” “After we open the public forum registration, we will select members of the community that represent our entire socio-economic makeup in Thunder Bay,” Togman added.
The committee is composed of six members including chair Rebecca Johnson, vice-chair Cody Fraser along with members Heather McLeod, Riley Burton, Wayne Bahlieda and Carlos Santander-Maturana.
