Windsor city council report card: Fred Francis - Ward 1

Grade: B+

Francis has the best attendance of all council members, missing only one meeting while away on city business. He typically supports the mayor's initiatives, but has spoken out on concerns of ward residents, particularly on infrastructure and traffic issues. Francis is keen to keep a lid on costs, he opposed raising new city hall construction budget for "wants opposed to needs." He is not in the social media game.

Attendance record: 99.24% (130 of 131 meetings)

Salary: $40,189.37

Travel expenses: $0

Social media: Only a private Facebook profile. No presence elsewhere

• Continue to freeze property taxes

Quote: "The primary goal for all the city councillors and mayor was jobs, so it's very heartening to see that the unemployment rate's under six per cent. We'll continue to do what we can do to provide an environment where businesses can flourish and jobs can be created."
