The controversial planned expansion and operations of the shipping port operated by Picton Terminals not only sparked a long legal battle but it also caused an investigation by Prince Edward County council’s Integrity Commissioner
At tomorrow’s meeting council will see a report by Integrity Commissioner Robert Swayze.
He began an investigation after four unnamed members of council believed confidential information was being leaked to the public from closed council meetings in June regarding negotiations with Picton Terminals.
The commissioner, although believing confidential information had been leaked because of commentary seen in local media and that made by delegations at council meetings, could not find any evidence to back up his belief and has ended his investigation.
Both council members and staff were interviewed by the commissioner.
Meanwhile, council is expected to vote on and approve the terms of settlement with Picton Terminals tomorrow night.
