AND WHEREAS for publicly funded organizations, the issue of accountability surrounding the use of public funds is of considerable importance;
AND WHEREAS Council for the City of Greater Sudbury, as stewards of the City’s finances and in the interests of increased transparency and consistency, wish to demonstrate the efficient and effective use of financial resources to ensure that all expenses claimed are reasonable and economical, and as such are seeking some amendments to By-law 2016-16F as amended as well as any related internal policies;
