The Saint-Leonard borough council is the local governing body of Saint-Leonard, a borough in the City of Montreal. The council consists of five members: the borough mayor (who also serves as a Montreal city councillor), two Montreal city councillors and two borough councillors elected for Saint-Leonard's two electoral districts.[1] Each citizen of Saint-Léonard has four votes in a municipal election: one for the mayor of Montreal, one for the borough mayor, one for a city councillor, and one for a borough councillor. Voters may choose to cast all four votes or as few as they wish.
The borough council, like others in Montreal, is able to approve some contracts without seeking the approval of the Montreal executive committee or the Montreal city council. A Montreal Gazette article from May 2009 indicated that Saint-Leonard was paying more expenditures since dividing its management of parks and sports facilities into two twenty-year contracts.[2]
Make up of Borough council
Saint-Leonard is divided into two council districts: Saint-Leonard-Est and Saint-Leonard-Ouest by Lacordaire Boulevard. The borough elects a borough mayor, who also sits on Montreal City Council; each district elects one city councillor and one borough councillor. The borough mayor, city councillors, and borough councillors make up the borough council.
