Group representing Ontario municipalities says province must conduct broad consultations as it considers expanding ‘strong mayor’ powers to communities other than Toronto and Ottawa
A group representing Ontario municipalities says the province must conduct broad consultations as it considers expanding so-called “strong mayor” powers to communities other than Toronto and Ottawa.
The organization’s board met to discuss the bill, though it has not had the opportunity to canvass its members or review research on the topic, Rosborough said. The proposed legislation would also give the mayors the responsibility for preparing and tabling their city’s budget, instead of council, appointing a chief administrative officer, and hiring and firing department heads, except for statutory appointments such as an Auditor-General, police chief or fire chief.
