WHEREAS in City Council directed staff to amend By-law 2015-87 being a by-law of the City of Greater Sudbury to Create the Position of Chief Administrative Officer, that delegates authority to the Chief Administrative Officer for adjusting non-executive, non-union compensation so it remained within the desired market position described in the Council-approved Salary Administration Policy, subject to an annual review of benchmarks during a quarterly CAO performance presentation;
AND WHEREAS Council has previously been presented with information that provides comparisons for both union and non-union positions with other Ontario municipalities;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Council direct the Chief Administrative Officer to produce a review of the corporation’s Salary Administration Policy for non-union positions to a Finance & Administration Committee meeting in the third quarter of 2024 that, at a minimum, includes:
- An assessment of the suitability of comparator municipalities and the basis for identifying them;
- The method for determining how the corporation’s positions are compared with other jurisdictions;
- Clearly defined principles that guide the policy’s scope and its application and alignment with Council’s strategic priorities;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Administrative Officer engage the Auditor General to analyze the results of this review and any recommended policy changes with the objective of providing independent assurance on the process steps taken during the review.
