Swift Currentâs new council wants to send a clear message to residents with their decision on their own remuneration.
They voted unanimously in support of a motion at a regular council meeting on Dec. 14 that will result in a greater cost saving on their remuneration than previously planned.
Mayor Al Bridal felt there are several reasons why this change in remuneration makes sense for the new council.
âWe want to show citizens that we're serious about controlling our taxation rate and our spending rate, but we also want to show administration that we're serious about doing it ourselves,â he said during an online media briefing after the council meeting.
