It's going go be a long night at Elliot Lake City Hall on Monday.
Mayor Dan Marchisella has called a special council meeting in the Council Chamber at 6 p.m., an hour before City Council's regular meeting at 7 p.m.
There will two Integrity Commissioner (IC) items on the agenda.
The first is a review of potential sanctions for Elliot Lake Councillor Chris Patrie for Code of Conduct breaches as outlined by the Integrity Commissioner.
Elliot Lake CAO Daniel Gagnon said, "This was deferred to allow all councillors (and if needed, the public) to review the report.”
"The detailed report has been on our website IC page for weeks now," he added.
The other agenda item at the special meeting is to review potential sanctions for Councillor Ed Pearce for a Code of Conduct breach.
"Basically, he had an outburst in closed session in March that was inappropriate but the IC has attributed that breach of the Code of Conduct to December 2018,” Gagnon explained. "So they assumed he was not to be sanctioned as a result of a technicality. (December 2018 was with an older Code of Conduct and different IC).”
Gagnon concluded, "In order to be consistent (but save on costs of getting an amended IC report for the date), I just did a staff report to have council review the potential sanction."
Blow is the item from the council minutes:
A motion was introduced
Res 399/19
Moved by T. Turner
Seconded by L. Cyr
That this motion be deferred to a special meeting of council with a date to be determined after November 15, 2019.
