On the agenda

As the city filed it

In December 2020, the Integrity Commissioner received a complaint that Councillor Mark Grimes had breached the Code of Conduct for Members of Council (the "Code of Conduct") by interfering with the City's response to Adamson Barbecue operating from November 24 to 26, 2020. The complaint alleged that Councillor Grimes' statements to the media about the City's response show he was improperly directing how officials were managing this situation.

There were grounds to investigate whether Articles XII (Conduct Respecting Staff) and XIV (Discreditable Conduct) had been broken. Having investigated, the Integrity Commissioner found there was no evidence Councillor Grimes broke the Code of Conduct. A third allegation, that Article VIII (Improper Use of Influence) was broken, was dismissed without investigation as the complaint provided no grounds alleging that any personal benefit was obtained.

Staff recommended

The Integrity Commissioner recommends that: 1. City Council receive this report for information.
