Motor Vehicle Insurance for Elected Officials

WHEREAS council members are required to attend council and committee meetings as part of their statutory duties; AND WHEREAS some council members have to obtain commuting or business motor vehicle insurance coverage for their work outside of local government functions and the remaining council members have only pleasure insurance coverage; AND WHEREAS the pleasure rate class only allows council members to attend six council meetings or functions per month without requiring a more expensive rate class: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the provincial government work with ICBC to amend the pleasure rate classification to allow all elected council members to attend up to twelve meetings or functions per month without requiring the council members to have the commuting rate classification.
