The Calgary citizen who started a petition to recall Mayor Jyoti Gondek met with the city's elected leader on Friday in a 20-minute, closed-door meeting.
Calgary resident Landon Johnston started the campaign to remove Gondek in January because he was frustrated with city hall and concerned about tax increases and the city's single-use plastic bylaw.
He said his first meeting with the mayor was interesting.
"The mayor was very friendly. She listened to everything I had to say," Johnston said.
"But it's still not enough."
He said they discussed transparency, affordability and the recall legislation.
Calgary's mayor said they did find common ground.
