Response To The Question

September 4th 2007 General Committee Meeting Agenda Item 8

I've had no success in copying and pasting the Clause but it is there in it's entirety.

You are correct however. The last sentence does not appear on the document posted on the web site.

There is something odd about that. A paper trail exists from the first submission of the Clerk.

It does show a recommended deletion of a section of the preceding Clause 2 Confidentiality.

Nowhere is there recommended a deletion from Clause 3. Communications

It's possible there was a slip of the finger on the computer.
There 's nothing to indicate that happened. Nor can it be ruled out.

Councillor Collins Mrakas and myself both disagreed with Clause 3. It was debated .
There was no agreement to delete it and since such direction is not in the record, our recollection seems to be accurate.

Clause 3 in its entirety is repeatedly contradictory and senseless . Deletion of the last clause makes it somewhat less obnoxious. Yet in terms of legislative language it is an embarrassment to the municipality.
