Council approves third party review on Invest Medicine Hat procurement process
MEDICINE HAT, AB- Whether or not the Invest Medicine Hat request for proposal process was without conflict will now be in the hands of a third-party review.
At Monday’s meeting, council unanimously approved an independent review of the process, which will examine if the procurement process was within city policies and provincial standards. The vote for a review came swiftly with no discussion from council on the topic.
It was not mentioned at the meeting who will be conducting the review. But Mayor Ted Clugston said that’s because the issue has been forwarded to the Audit Committee who will vote on who to select.
