Municipal Auditor General

Opening the Convention policy session on Thursday, September 29, 2011, Mayor Greg Moore assumed the Chair at 8:55 a.m. and introduced the Municipal Auditor General Policy Paper.

A motion, duly moved and seconded, that the recommendation from the Municipal Auditor General Policy Paper be amended to express disagreement with the need for an office of the Municipal Auditor General, was endorsed.

The recommendation, as amended, then read:

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that UBCM, while disagreeing on the necessity to create an office of the Municipal Auditor General, due to the fact that requirements of such an office are already met under existing local government legislation and regulations, endorse in principle the policy paper and instruct the UBCM Executive to continue negotiations with the provincial government.

ON MOTION the recommendation, as amended, was ENDORSED.

UBCM released a policy paper on the Municipal Auditor General for consideration by the membership at the 2011 UBCM Convention.

Given that there was no previous policy on a MAG, the paper sought that policy direction from the membership. If endorsed, the recommendation would constitute a mandate from the membership to UBCM Executive and staff.
