Editor's Note -- I recently met with the City's CAO and he advised me at that meeting that this was something he was planning on doing on a monthly basis and urge my readers' to read his monthly reports. It should prevent 'surprises' from being sprung on the community and on Council... and so I congratulate Mr. Garceau for being so proactive with not only Council but the community he now calls home

does the closed meeting mean yet MORE legal costs for the city? Makes one wonder who's suing them now! You can bet the legal costs will top $200,000 if they're already at $112 for the first six months.
