The City of Chestermere is being managed improperly, irregularly and improvidently, according to the province.
The City of Chestermere is being managed improperly, irregularly and improvidently, according to the province.
A 200-page inspection report found various issues and concerns with the current mayor and council, who will now have to complete a set of 12 directives.
Failure to do so could result in their removal by the province.
Around 300 people filled Chestermere's recreation centre to hear the results of a lengthy provincial investigation into irregularities on council that began a year ago.
The investigation was led by third-party inspector George Cuff, who found the city struggles with consistency.
"During the time that we did the review, approximately 60 people left in a year," Cuff said.
Cuff found a deep divide among council, including Mayor Jeff Colvin electing to function without managerial assistance.
