Ottawa councillors will be allowed to "solicit and/or facilitate" donations from developers for the community's benefit, under proposed new rules at Ottawa City Hall.
Under the proposed new rules, councillors would be allowed to "solicit and/or facilitate" donations from developers at "arm's length from decision-making processes", including "establishing specific 'blackout period" restrictions for planning and procurement decision-making processes.
"Staff would manage accepted donations under delegated authority, in consultation with the Member who solicited and/or facilitated the donation, as applicable, and subject to providing all Members of Council with status updates twice per year," the report says.
