Chapleau Council to Discuss Filling Vacant Seat in 1st Meeting of 2022

Chapleau Town Council may choose their appointee to fill a vacant Council seat as they hold their first meeting of the year.

Tonight's regular meeting agenda includes an item on the Council vacancy applications - the deadline was last Tuesday - with a subsequent resolution to "resolve to appoint the applicant selected by a council vote to fill the vacant council seat", which was left open when Deputy Mayor Rick Smith resigned at the end of October.

Council will also receive a delegation from the Township's Integrity Commissioner, and consider: providing the HandiTransit Service "in house" or putting out a request for proposal for operators; increasing Council's remuneration and travel expenses; and approving new fees for internment and flat markers at the cemetery - including Bereavement Authority of Ontario fees - while an unspecified "mayoral announcement" is also on the agenda.

The public can listen in on the meeting by calling 1-800-974-5902, entering conference ID 5116623 - it starts at 6:30 tonight.
