Yorkton Councillor Randy Goulden will once again be seeking election to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Board of Directors.
This time the term will be 2020-2021.
The FCM represents the interests of municipalities on policy and program matters that fall within federal jurisdiction. FCM’s Board of Directors is comprised of elected municipal officials from all regions and sizes of communities to form a broad base of support and provide FCM with the prestige required to carry the municipal message to the federal government, explained a Notice of Motion by Goulden at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.
The resolution put forward stated that Council will assume all costs associated with a City Councillor attending the FCM Board of Director Meetings.
However, Goulden noted the cost to the City would not exceed what has been allocated annually through the Council travel and training budget. I receive travel funding through this.
Support from Yorkton Council was unanimous for Goulden to seek election.
Goulden has represented the City of Yorkton and Province of Saskatchewan on the FCM Board of Directors since 2013. She serves as the Chair of the FCM West Economic Solutions Taskforce, Chair of the Prairies and Territories Caucus, the Chair of the FCM Election Readiness Committee, Member of the FCM Executive Committee, and Chair of the FCM Rail Safety Committee.
