3. Section 88.9(1) of the Municipal Elections Act,1996 states that a contributor shall not make contributions exceeding a total of $1,200 to any one candidate in an election. 4. Appendix B to the report (October 31, 2019) from the City Clerk identified John Zilli and Johnny Zilli as a contributor that appeared to have exceeded the $1,200 contribution limit to the election campaign of Angelo Carnevale. Specifically, Appendix B to the report (October 31, 2019) from the City Clerk identified two contributions, one of $1,200 and one of $200, from individuals with similar names - John Zilli and Johnny Zilli - and with the same address. Accordingly, it appeared that a contributor had made a contribution of $1,400 to the election campaign of Angelo Carnevale. 5. The contributor was not present, but provided a written submission which clarified that the individuals were different people. The candidate also appeared before the Compliance Audit Committee and spoke to the matter. 6. For the reasons stated below, the Compliance Audit Committee has decided not to commence a legal proceeding against contributor John Zilli and Johnny Zilli for a contravention of Section 88.9 of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996. There was no contribution over the contribution limit. The contribution of $1,200 attributed to "John Zilli" was made by John Zilli (father) and the contribution of $200 attributed to "Johnny Zilli" was made by John Tito Zilli (son).
