Maddox re-appointed as meeting investigator
Puslinch council has reappointed John Maddox of JGM Consulting as its closed meeting investigator for a two year term commencing Jan. 1.
On Dec. 7, councillors authorized retaining the services of Maddox through an agreement entered into between JGM and Wellington County.
Section 239 of the Municipal Act gives municipal councils authority to go into closed sessions.
The Act also allows for a person to request an investigation as to whether a municipality has complied with Section 239.
In 2014, Puslinch Township appointed Maddox as part of an agreement with the county and that two-year term ends Dec. 31.
