Council unanimously voted in February to initiate an investigation after concerns were raised over the unauthorized release of information from in-camera council meetings. According to district spokesman Paul Gi p p s, council is concerned information on a variety of issues has reportedly been leaked to the public. This includes but is not limited to the Public Safety Inspection Team and the district's controversial controlled substance property bylaw - or marijuana bylaw - and the Stave Lake P3 water proposal. "It's ongoing. I know council is eager to provide as much about that as possible," said Gipps. "They're working on it, I can tell you that." Mission councillor Jenny Stevens was the subject of controversy in May after members of the RCMP seized her personal computer in connection to a breach of trust investigation after information into the PSIT was allegedly distributed to the public. Stevens' computer, which she relies heavily on because she is visually impaired, was returned to her not long after the seizure. No charges were laid in the case. Gipps said he couldn't comment on if the RCMP investigation that Stevens was involved in was related to the district's current investigation. There is no word yet on when the District of Mission will announce its findings on the investigation. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr.
