Council expenses, itemized

17 members of council appear across the period, filing 1,085 itemized lines that total $586,456.32. Every member-quarter's itemized lines were checked to reconcile, to the cent, against that quarter's own summary table — nothing here is estimated or rounded from a total.

Two categories carry real line-level detail: Mayoral/Councillor spending (Appendix A — meals, mileage, ward events, sponsorships, subscriptions) and Conference & Travel (Appendix C — itemized by event, with location and dates where the source states them). The third, Corporate (Appendix B: phone, air card, and tablet charges paid directly to suppliers), is reported in the source only as per-item totals with no transaction-level detail beneath it — those rows appear here as "Phone Charges" / "Tablet" / "Air Card" for that reason. A member with no rows in a given quarter had nothing disclosed above $0 that quarter in the categories shown, not necessarily no council-related spending at all.

Source: Summary of Expenses for Members of Council (quarterly Council Expense Reports), Q1 2019–Q2 2026, City of Barrie — Finance Department. Original document. Thirty quarterly PDFs (Q1 2019 – Q2 2026, every quarter barrie.ca has published; earlier quarters retrieved via the Internet Archive since the live page keeps only a rolling window). Each report carries three appendices per member — Appendix A (mayoral/councillor discretionary spending, itemized by description), Appendix B (corporate: phone/air card/tablet, reported as per-item totals with no transaction-level detail), and Appendix C (conference and travel, itemized by event) — which this site transcribes line by line rather than just the summary totals. Every member-quarter's itemized lines were machine-verified to sum to the cent against that quarter's own summary table, and the annual sums independently reconcile against the s.284 remuneration statements' City-paid-expenses figures charted on /issues/council-pay/. Q4 2022 spans the November mayoral transition and carries both Lehman's and Nuttall's partial-quarter figures separately. Retrieved August 19, 2026.

Every member, by what the money bought

All seventeen members who served across the period, highest total first. Rather than stack by which of the source's three reporting appendices a line came from, this splits each bar by what the expense actually was, sorted by keyword into the same spending-type buckets used on campaign finance: Conference & Travel (AMO, FCM, mileage, and similar); Print & Communications (newsletters, printing, postage, digital and phone communications, subscriptions); Events & Sponsorships (galas, town halls, festivals, recreation passes, sponsorships and donations); Meals & Appreciation; Corporate (phone/tablet, unitemized in the source); and a small Other catch-all, three-quarters of which is simply what the City's own forms label "Miscellaneous." Council expenses never carry a Compliance & Legal, Voter Outreach & Data, Advertising & Media, or Office & Administration line — those buckets exist for campaign spending, and appear here at zero.

Every member, per quarter served

Not everyone in the table above served the same length of time inside this window: five members sat all thirty quarters, several were mid-term arrivals or departures with as few as fifteen, and Doug Shipley's four quarters in early 2019 barely overlap it at all. Dividing each member's total by their own number of quarters served turns the raw totals above into a fair per-quarter rate — the basis a shorter tenure should actually be judged on.

Every member, itemized

Sorted by total spending across the period, highest first. Each member's table lists every disclosed line, grouped by the City's own reporting appendix, largest amount first within each — "Bucket" reclassifies each line by what the money actually bought, the same spending-type buckets as the charts above.
