Windsor city council report card: Chris Holt - Ward 4

Grade: B+

Holt arrived on the scene, welcoming the mayor's plan for a 20-year strategic vision as a chance "to think big." A promoter of progressive urban ideas, he makes noises about ending the tax freeze, but ultimately supported two hold-the-line budgets. Holt was the only councillor to vote against the tax levy for themega-hospital. Holt is willing to champion low-appeal ideas, such as paid parking at all city facilities and lowering the default speed limit to 40 km/hr. He has a below-average attendance, but high engagement on social media.

Attendance record: 90.98% (111 of 122 meetings)

Salary: $40,189.37

Travel expenses: $6,622.11

Social media: Reposts several items a day on Facebook, with succinct comments. Frequent retweeter. Some interaction on Twitter. Semi-regular Instagram user. Has LinkedIn account.

• Investments in cycling infrastructure
• Elimination of development charges in city core

To-do list:

• Bulk item garbage pickup
• Creating more liveable, walkable community
