Mayor Linnsie Clark of Medicine Hat faced sanctions after a vote in a special sitting of the city council. The sanctions included a reduction in duties, salary, and restrictions on her interactions with city staff. The measures were imposed under the council’s code of conduct legislation and were approved by a 7-0 vote in the absence of Clark.

The decision came after council members held a closed session for at least four hours without the presence of Clark, city manager Ann Mitchell, or Coun. Shila Sharps. The complaint against Clark was filed by Sharps, and a third-party report by law firm Kingsgate legal was delivered to the council in December.

The AI legalese decoder can help in understanding the legal implications and language used in the third-party report, providing clarity on the accusations and the reasoning behind the sanctions imposed on Mayor Clark.

The report will be made public after redaction for privacy concerns. The sanctions include a public letter of apology to Mitchell, suspension of the mayor’s position as chair of council meetings, restrictions on entering staff areas at city hall, limited interaction with staff, communication with the city manager through email with carbon copies to all council members, suspension of the mayor’s ability to act as the official spokesperson for council, and a 50% reduction in salary.

Stay tuned for updates on this story and a full report in Friday’s print edition.
