Port Coquitlam's mayor will return next year to chair the Metro Vancouver board of directors.
Today (Friday), Mayor Greg Moore was acclaimed to the top job along with Vancouver Coun. Raymond Louie as vice chair. It is their sixth term in a row, holding the positions since 2012.
This year, Moore earns $74,106 as Metro chair while Louie takes home $37,053 in remuneration.
For 2016, Moore has claimed some $11,000 in expenses to date to attend conferences including $7,400 for the UCLG World Council in Paris France last December.
Louie has expensed $4,478 to date this year including for the UCLG World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders in Bogota, Columbia, held last month in which Moore was also present.
Meanwhile, Moore and Louie — a member of Vision Vancouver — will also assume the same roles for the Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District, the Greater Vancouver Water District and the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation.
Metro Vancouver represents 21 municipalities, a treaty First Nation and an electoral area.
In January, Moore is expected to announce his appointments of local politicians to Metro committees.
