When I received my copy of Mr. Nitkin's decision in the office of the Director of Corporate Services on Monday, the document had had to be copied and a page prepared for signature of receipt. There was a wait but no sign of reluctance.
The atmosphere was congenial and professional. Miss King looked glowing and refreshed from her vacation and in good spirits.There was obviously no doubt as to her responsibility to provide the documentation to those referred in the regulation and Mr. Nitkin's decision.
I have subsequently learned Councillors McRoberts and Collins Mrakas have not been provided with their copies.
The Mayor has informed them they are not entitled.
The authority and responsibility to forward Mr.Nitkin's decision rests with The Director of Corporate Services.
It is not within the authority of the Mayor.
Two Councillors being refused a document to which they are legally entitled, would not have been a decision of the Director of Corporate Services.
It would more likely have been an order which she was not prepared to accept.
Notice of her resignation was circulated the following day.

Hey Granny,
Saw an article about you in the Star today. You seem to be the center of another kerfuffle :P
Liz
Since the last election, how many staff (and what positions) have retired, been fired, or “decided to pursue other career opportunities”.
It will give a better understanding of what the new regime has accomplished.
All Senior Staff except for the Director of Leisure Services, Al Downey, has left since Mayor Tim Jones left the Chair.
So my question would be has the Mayor seen the response. And if so why her and not the others. We know you have. She should not have seen it either if she is not letting the others see. Again where is the confidentiality. What is good for the goose is good for the gander someone said. Here again is the perfect example of the Mayor having authority where she should NOT! And people say you are the problem Evelyn. I think they need to give their heads a shake see if there is anything in there! How blind and stupid does this Mayor and the GOS think we are!!!
Dear Evelyn:
It's so good to hear that you are still fighting the good fight in Aurora. I saw you on the CBC and had to read your blog for myself.
I was raised in Aurora; in fact, you knew my mum and dad, and although you and my mum didn't always see eye to eye, I know she would be on your side.
Don't let the bastards get you down!
