The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
By-law Number 2018-012
Being a by-law to amend By-law 2015-029, a by-law to govern the proceedings
of the Council of the Municipality of Clarington, its General Government
Committee, its Planning and Development Committee, and Special Committees,
regarding sections related to changes under the Municipal Conflict of Interest
Act.
Whereas the Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, S.O. 2017, c. 10
(Bill 68) includes a number of amendments to the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act
(MCIA), in particular changes to Section 5.1 and 6.1, which have a proclamation date of
March 1, 2019;
And Whereas the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington deems it
advisable to amend By-law 2015-029, to change the existing practice of declaring an
interest under the MCIA to require members to file a written statement of the interest
and the general nature thereof;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington's Procedural By-law be
amended to add the following sections under the "Disclosure of Pecuniary Interest"
section:
7.2.3 At a meeting at which a member declares an interest, or as
soon as possible afterwards, the member shall file a written
statement of the interest and its general nature with the
Municipal Clerk or designate, in the form determined by the
Municipal Clerk.
7.2.4 The Municipal Clerk shall establish and maintain a Registry
of Declarations of Interest containing,
a) a copy of each statement filed under section
7.2.3; and
b) a copy of each declaration recorded in the
minutes.
7.2.5 The Municipal Clerk shall provide access to the Registry of
Declarations of Interest through the Municipal website or
through an alternative means, as requested from time to
time.
That this by-law shall come into February 5, 2018,
Passed in Open Council this 5th day of February, 2018.
