Espanola council unanimously approved a motion to hire a new Integrity Commissioner on the advice of their previous one.
Town CAO Clerk Joseph Burke says their former IC, Robert Swayze, had informed the town some time ago that he would have to resign for personal reasons.
Burke says at that time Swayze also recommended the law firm, Aird and Berlis LLP fill the vacancy, adding the firm also has the staff to handle any local matters in a timely manner.
He adds council approved the bylaw to not only have the law firm complete the remaining two years of Swayze’s term, but also on a continuous basis moving forward.
