This Is Old News: Boushy

Two veteran Sarnia councillors want the Workplace Investigation Report and its related materials moved somewhere else on the city's website.

The report that found Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley bullied and harassed four senior staff members, including Chief Administrative Officer Margaret Misek-Evans, has been the top item posted under "News Centre" for one year now.

Councillor Dave Boushy says it doesn't make the city very attractive to new employees.

"Why is it when you click on London, Toronto, it's not there?" Boushy asks. "But our investigation report is right there and then you move on... and you click and click... and all our stuff comes out. I'm wondering about the outside, I don't think they'd be impressed by that. This is old news. Move it away. Move it from the first line. Put it somewhere else."

Councillor Mike Kelch agreed.

"It should be somewhere else, under 'City Government' or something like that and there are other things that should be under city government," says Kelch. "We don't seem to refresh that."

Finance Director Lisa Armstrong, who oversees Information Technology at the city, told council the website will be upgraded in 2018 and the recommendation will be taken into account in the redesign.

The councillors concerns were raised during Monday's Corporate Priorities and Strategic Planning Meeting.
