Should the Mayor vote on Council Matters?

I have worked for and with many wonderful Mayors. Some of them vote on every item before them (as long as they have not declared a pecuniary interest) and some of them only vote when there is a tie. Sometimes this is their personal decision and other times it is how it has always been done in their municipality.

It is my opinion that, if elected Mayor, I would vote on every matter along with the other members of Council. I want the residents to know where I stand on the items that come before Council. I have thoughts, values, opinions and beliefs that I will bring with me to the position of Mayor and many of these will become evident during my campaign. I won’t know everything and will rely on the well-researched information presented to Council by staff, the feedback from residents and my own research into matters that I am less familiar with.

What are your thoughts on this? Should the Mayor vote on Council matters?

I’ve worked in the public sector my entire career and for all levels of government (Federal, Provincial, First Nation and Municipal). This career spanned over 30 years when I finally retired in 2025. The level of government where I spent most of my time was the municipal sector. This is where I found my groove. Working for the residents and with Council to create new opportunities that were affordable and sustainable gave me so much satisfaction. I loved my job and the staff who devote their energy and passion to juggle and manage all the requirements and demands of a municipal operation. This level of government is the closest to the people. You see what’s working and have an opportunity to provide input on what needs attention or change.
