Council discussed a report on Wednesday by integrity commissioner Angela Kruk that says Coun. Dan LeBlanc and Coun. Andrew Stevens violated the city’s code of ethics bylaw with an attempted lawsuit in 2022. The group then voted to send the report back to executive committee for it to be discussed in private.
Last year LeBlanc and Stevens took legal action against city manager Niki Anderson in an effort to get funding for homelessness into the city’s budget.
The lawsuit was dismissed and now Kruk has determined that the two councillors failed to serve their constituents in a diligent manner and also did not inspire public confidence in council.
“I’ll stand by what I did but no going to court over an issue is not something I ever want to do ever again,” Stevens said.
Both councillors made their final arguments to their colleagues on Wednesday.
“It would be inconsistent with my beliefs to have not done what I did to uphold democracy,” LeBlanc said.
However, it was Anderson who got the last word.
