11.   Enquiries

Councillor P. Van Meerbergen enquiries regarding the scheduling of grass cutting at City Parks and the need for enhanced communication with the public regarding this matter.  The Managing Director, Parks and Recreation responded by providing information pertaining to the scheduling of grass cutting at City Parks and provided information on communication with the public regarding the scheduling.

Councillor S. Turner enquires with respect to the requirement of the Municipal Elections Act,, 1996 for anyone who spends money to campaign for or against a registered candidate in the municipal election or for or against a question on the municipal ballot to be registered as a third party with the clerk of the municipality and to file any expenses associated with that activity.  He references recent reports in the media that he indicates had provided evidence that individuals or organizations likely did participate in the past municipal election as unregistered third-party advertisers.  He states that information has been provided by the Clerk to Members of Council and the public that since these third parties were unregistered, a review of expenses by the Compliance Audit Committee would not be within their mandate.  He indicates that his question for the clerk is, if there are grounds to believe that these activities, contrary to the Municipal Elections Act did indeed occur, what recourse is available to have these allegations investigated by any sort of independent panel, and to have the matter referred to and represented in the courts where warranted?

The City Clerk and the City Solicitor responds to questions asked of Members of Council indicating that there did not appear to be any authority under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (MEA) for the Municipal Council or the Clerk to take any action regarding this matter and that the elector could inquiry of the Ontario Provincial Police if an investigation under the MEA was warranted or to seek a ruling from the Court of any potential violations of the MEA.
