COUN. Marty Morantz is calling for an internal audit of the south Charleswood corridor project to clear his name and to determine which city officials kept the plan secret from elected officials and the public.
Morantz said he’ll introduce a motion at the next executive policy meeting, set for Jan. 10, to have the city auditor review the project.
“There are a lot of questions swirling around this,” Morantz told the Free Press. “If we’re going to get to the bottom of this, where the disconnect was, we’re going to need an audit.”
Coun. Janice Lukes called for an emergency closed-door meeting of council for today to consider CAO Doug McNeil’s performance on the file.
“Councillors are kept in the dark, and we have to find out what’s going on by reading the papers,” she said.
A spokesman for Mayor Brian Bowman said he supports Morantz’s call to have the city auditor review the file, adding that McNeil will hold a closed-door briefing for councillors next week.
