| Compliance Audit Committee | ||||||||||

This Committee operates in accordance with the provisions contained in the Municipal Elections Act. This is a mandatory Committee. Members of Council do not serve on this Committee. This Committee meets to consider compliance audit applications received from an elector by the Clerk. Applications can be filed after a Municipal Election. If the Committee feels that the application has merit, the Committee appoints an independent auditor to review the election expenses. They receive the auditor's report and if the report concludes that there appears to be a contravention of the Municipal Elections Act, the Committee decides whether or not legal proceedings should be started. |
