A Connection

It may have occurred to readers to wonder how the same argument failed to persuade a tribunal four times out of four and you didn't even know the game was on. Though it was your money being spent.

The explanation is simple.
.
Unlike another legal action we know about; report of an "investigation" by a solicitor, paid for with town funds into a councillor's comments. The decision to file complaint against the councillor to the Integrity Commissioner was made behind closed doors; reported out and read into the public record;. advertised in two local newspapers; and continues to be posted for an indefinite time on the town's web site.

Decisions to proceed four times to argue for a Joint Board hearingon the Westhill Development project were never reported out.No authority was ever given in public.In the last instance, authority was not given in private either.

And yet the proceeding took place. Expenditures were made. Presumably cheques were signed.

Production of an alternate Master Parks and Recreation Plan was similarly managed.

Consultants retained and paid $53,222. never presented their final draft to council. No opportunity was given for questions to be asked or the public to become aware of the consultants recommendations.

No authority was given for an alternate plan to be prepared. No committee was named. No meetings were posted. No agendas circulated. No staff attended. No records kept. No authority given for a rogue plan to be printed, circulated and recommended to council.

And yet it was.

How could that happen.

Let us examine facts.:

A municipal administration is subject to the authority of Council. Council direction to staff is provided by resolutions having received the required majority support.

If a Divisional Court Decision and a Rogue Master Parks and Recreation are presented to council, with no record of Council authorisation, the question needs to be asked, how did that happen?

Only one thing I can tell you for certain, neither myself, Councillor Collins Mrakas nor Councillor
McRoberts were party to the plan.

Without being a party, yet close enough to see the dots do not connect, I am compelled to speculate the Mormac regime is a regime in every sense of the word.

Conversely. the Town of Aurora does not have a Council in any sense of the word.
