Medicine Hat’s mayor submits provincial audit request over two weeks after council approval
The City of Medicine Hat’s request for a municipal inspection is now in the hands of the Alberta government, two councillors confirmed to CHAT News on Saturday.
While city council voted 6-3 to send the ask to the municipal affairs minister Ric McIver at its Sept. 3 meeting, it was only signed and sent off by Mayor Linnsie Clark on Wednesday afternoon, according to Coun. Shila Sharps.
Coun. Andy McGrogan also confirmed “she finally signed and sent” the request.
Clark and Coun. Ramona Robins voted against requesting the provincial audit on Sept. 3 because they wanted more information about what it could cost the city.
