Just received an e-mail from the Mayor's office. A copy of the minutes from last night's "Special" meeting followed immediately.
It was called to order at 5.20p.m. They recessed into Closed Session at 5.53 pm. ,re-convened and reported out at 11.05 p.m. and adjourned at 11.12p.m.
When a council goes behind closed doors only those matters listed on the agenda can be discussed.
Councillors McRoberts and Collins Mrakas notified in considerable detail why they were not prepared to attend ; no reason was given for the meeting and no agenda was circulated. I also indicated I would not attend for all of the reasons cited by both colleagues.
Apparently an agenda was circulated. though not to myself, thirteen minutes before the meeting was scheduled to begin.
The late agenda listed:
1. Code of Conduct Complaint
.
2. Matters related to an individual.
If the order was followed, the Code of Conduct Complaint was discussed and then a decision was made to remove all powers from the Integrity Commissioner and recruit a new one.
It took all those hours to figure out a way to tell you that.
Now do you believe me?

if the agenda items were for the complaint and something about an individual....WHAT ABOUT THE DECISION???
Evelyn doesn't it tell you that the people who really matter don't give a shit about what happens until they can't figure out why their tax levy went up?
People don't care.... it is okay to deface everything that is within reason and when all of a sudden...... hey I have to pay more taxes they come alive! I don't like it but what the hell I am not about to question why! I just live here.All the power to you.
We have thieves amongst us, they take our tax dollars and squander them, they ask for money in camoufleuge to what is actually going to happen, they hire lawyers at our expense, they fire integrity commissioners because they know better.
This guy, David Nitkin, go online and query him, he is world reknown for what his expertise is.. he has authored books for gods sakes. But we in Aurora, Ontario Canada know better..... he is not doing his job as we would like him to do.
Hey I am aware that the CAO and the Clerk have been on vacation for the past two weeks, man if I were them I would have been looking for another position in another municipality as far far far away from Aurora as I could get. My goodness only in Aurora could the council have more integrity than the Integrity Commissioner.
Is it not a contradiction by the very meaning of the word..this council incorporated the code of conduct, they hired a lawyer to write it, they hired another lawyer to enforce it, they contracted an integrity commissioner to follow a council induced regime and when that did not happen by the very meaning of integrity.. they fired him. How much more do we need to see before it is so VERY VERY OBVIOUS that this council has an ADGENDA that spells out that the only thing they want right now is you gone from office and at the expense of EVERY SINGLE AURORA TAXPAYER, REGARDLESS.
It is absolute and total abuse of power, total disrespect for every citizen of Aurora, total disrespect of the office of the Minister of Municipal Affairs, who I intend to forward all of this communication to.
This regime of Aurora Council has out done themselves and will place themselves in the history books as the Worst Council Aurora Ever!
