The Town of Wasaga Beach is looking at bringing in an integrity commissioner, someone who would deal with any public complaints about town council members.
Right now complaints about councillors are handled by the town’s own staff. The province can also send someone in to handle the complaints if a town doesn’t have a local commissioner.
Wasaga Beach Mayor Brian Smith says he thinks having a commissioner would be a good idea.
“If the general public has a concern about council or about what we are doing or about what a particular council member is doing, they need to have somebody to contact that can look into that for them and be impartial so they will be able to call an integrity commissioner and the integrity commissioner will take it from there and deal with it,” adds Smith.
A final decision will be made by council at a later date.
