City of Sarnia Staff are recommending Robert J. Swayze be hired for the city's Integrity Commissioner. His role would allow neutral, independent oversight of city conduct expected of elected and appointed officials. Mayor Mike Bradley says it's an outlet for the public to voice concerns. [audio mp3="http://blackburnnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Bradley-2-Independent.mp3"][/audio] If city councillors move forward with the proposal, Swayze would start July 1, 2015 with an estimated yearly cost of just over $10,000.
The cost for an Integrity Commissioner is not part of the 2015 approved budget, but will be reflected in the Other Municipal area of the Operating Budget.
Swayze has served as Integrity Commissioner to Oakville, Guelph, Mississauga, and other municipalities.
