Coun. Rick Chiarelli was “absorbed in planning and executing volunteer subterfuge recruitment campaigns by objectifying the sexuality of his female employees,” according to city integrity commissioner Robert Marleau, who’s recommending an additional 180-day salary suspension for the councillor’s lewd behaviour revealed by two former political staff.
Marleau, in an investigative report released Friday into allegations detailed by the women, said Chiarelli’s conduct was a “shocking and astounding failure to treat the complainants with the respect they were due,” while telling Chiarelli’s colleagues to penalize him further by holding back his pay.
There’s no way to remove a duly elected council member under provincial law, unless the member is imprisoned or misses three consecutive months of meetings.
