Medicine Hat mayor issues apology, city manager accepts but asks for more
Mayor Linnsie Clark apologized on Tuesday for questions she asked during a contentious exchange with City Manager Ann Mitchell at an August 2023 public council meeting, appearing to fulfill a request made by councillors who sanctioned Clark earlier this year.
“I just wanted to make clear my intentions in my line of questioning were merely for me to carry out my duties as mayor of this city and not to cause hurt,” Clark said.
“However, I do recognize that my comments did cause hurt feelings around this table and I apologize for that,” the mayor concluded, to applause from the public gallery.
After Clark’s statement, Mitchell asked to give a response.
