Public works director Larry Lynch has been terminated from his position with the township.
CAO Patty Sinnamon told the Advertiser on Dec. 16 that Lynch was officially terminated effective Dec. 11.
Sinnamon said Mapleton council directed that Lynch be terminated following an in-camera session at the end of the Dec. 10 council meeting.
Noting the dismissal was “obviously a personnel matter,” Sinnamon declined to provide a reason for the termination.
Last April Lynch was recognized for five years of service to the municipality.
The move leaves the Mapleton Township public works department without a director at a time when the municipality is making due with alternative arrangements due to a Nov. 29 fire that destroyed the primary public works shed at the municipal administration centre.
Mayor Bruce Whale did not return calls or emails from the Wellington Advertiser as of press deadline.
