The 2015 Municipal Public Accounts of the City of Yorkton are now available.
“In accordance with The Cities Act and The Cities Regulations, the City of Yorkton is required to produce the public accounts document on an annual basis,” explained Amber Matechuk, City Controller at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.
This document includes the following:
• Employee Salaries of $50,000 or more
• Council Remuneration
• Contracted Expenditures of $50,000 or more
• Grants and Subsidies of $50,000 or more
Matechuk said the numbers were in need of some additional explanation for 2015.
“Normally there are 26 pay periods in one year, however every 11 years there are 27 pay periods in one year. In 2015 the City of Yorkton experienced 27 pay periods which has made the wage expense higher than previous years,” she said.
The Public Accounts document will not be posted online as are most City documents.
“Given that this document includes employee names and titles we do not intend to post it on the City’s web page. Most municipalities do not broadcast Public Accounts on the premise that it could potentially increase risk of identity theft,” explained Matechuk.
Paper copies of the entire document are available to the public upon request at City Hall for $10.00 a copy.
