This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel interviews former Chestermere Mayor Jeff Colvin and former city councillor Stephen Hanley. The two were dismissed, along with two other city councillors and three chief administrative officers, by Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver.
McIver has said the city was being governed in an improper, irregular and improvident manner. He has ordered a financial inspection of the city’s books and the city is currently being run by an interim administrator.
The dismissed mayor and councillor allege the province began investigating their council after they found irregular spending patterns in Chestermere’s books. They also say city staff deleted emails and weren’t forthcoming with requested information.
They are now seeking to have the case heard by the court.
