Chapleau Council to Discuss Filling Vacant Seat, More Items in Final January Meeting

Chapleau Town Council may choose their appointee to fill a vacant Council seat.

Tonight's meeting agenda includes an item on appointing a new councillor, after a decision was delayed earlier this month - Mayor Michael Levesque explained there were four candidates, but one posed a question about conflict of interest.

Council's also set to receive delegations from engineering firm AECOM - on Riverside Drive pumping station electrical issues - and from GreenFirst Forest Products - which bought the local mill - plus by-laws on: remuneration and expenses for councillors and board members; maintenance, management, regulation, and control of cemeteries; regulation and control of animals; and regulation of smoking in public places.

There's also an "in-camera" item about "labour relations or employee negotiations related to the recruitment of a Chief Administrative Officer and interim measures" - just a few months after the town hired a new CAO.

The meeting's being held electronically, with the public able to listen by calling 1-800-974-5902, entering conference ID 5116623 - it starts at 6:30 tonight.
