Clark said, “What has frustrated me is people (some Councillors) have spent their budget before they knew what their budget is, or they assumed they would be able to change their budget and so they went ahead and hired more people.”

There will be nine councillors out of 15 who will share the $260,000 to bolster their office budgets.

 Coun. Brad Clark said some councillors are spending beyond their means. There are four council offices that are in a deficit position. “They knew their budgets,” he said. “They have exceeded their budgets. It is disconcerting.”

“Council said we’re asking you to tell us how to do it; not if we want to do it,” Coun. Brad Clark, “And there is a distinct difference in that.”
