Medicine Hat mayor returns to chair packed city council agenda tonight
When Medicine Hat’s city council meets tonight for the first time in nearly seven weeks, it will be with a changed atmosphere.
While there are several items on the agenda that promise to make it one of the year’s longer public meetings, all eyes will be on a council in conflict, on edge and with nine members that will have to deal with yet another new reality.
Mayor Linnsie Clark will chair the meeting for the first time in half a year after her powers and salary were restored by a Calgary judge in late August, a reversal of most of the sanctions placed on her by council in March.
