Integrity report fallout: Mayor to seek re-vote of Capitol condo hi-rise BY BILL HUTCHINS
Flags of Remembrance A young family reads some of the plaques on the Flags of Remembrance that currently line Bayridge Drive. The 128 flags represent the 128,000 Canadian war dead and missing in action, from the Boer War to the present. The flags are marked with maple leaf shaped honour plaques, which denote the name of a war hero to act as a ‘guardian’ of the 1000 souls that one flag represents, and are flown each year in November by the Veterans Voices of Canada as a ‘promise to never forget.’ Tori Stafford/Metroland
News – Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson is acting swiftly to address the outcome of an integrity commissioner’s report that recommends re-opening the vote to approve the downtown’s Capitol condominium. This follows a finding that Coun. Adam Candon “inadvertently” broke the city’s Code of Conduct by participating in the debate and vote over the 15 storey downtown hi-rise development, based on his prior business dealings as a real estate agent. The mayor has served notice that he will ask council Nov. 15 to reconsider IN8 Development’s application. “A reconsideration will allow a re-vote without the participation of Councillor Candon,” he stated. Candon voted in the majority to approve the controversial condo on Sept. 20. Without his involvement in a reconsideration, the building project is expected to be defeated on a 6-6 tie vote. “Unless somebody changes their vote it’ll change from a 7-6 vote in favour, to a 6-6 tie and a vote against. In which case it would have

to be the developer who challenged it at the OMB rather than the citizens,” said Coun. Jim Neill. A handful of citizens have already launched appeals with the Ontario Municipal Board to overturn council’s original decision, noting the building far exceeds the height that’s allowed at 223 Princess Street. However, the city’s planning department supports it. While the condo remains in limbo, Paterson says he wants to address the issue of public confidence in the integrity of council. In a separate motion, also to be debated Nov. 15, the mayor is seeking a full review of the policies and procedures related to conflict of interest and how it applies to the city’s Code of Conduct, a separate municipal policy that governs the conduct of elected officials. “I’m not saying the Code is too vague, but the policies and procedures to deal with conflict of interest are inadequate. Clearly, it’s not enough to just get a legal opinion from an outside lawyer,” he told reporters. Continued on page 3
