Report CD-18-89 - 2 - September 5, 1989
In accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, Section 132(6) (7) , demand notices
were sent to the three individuals by registered mail on July 4, 1989. Also, in
accordance with Section 132(8) of the Act, the notice of non-compliance was posted
in two conspicuous places in the municipality and published in the newspapers having
general circulation.
The demand notice states that the registered candidate, if elected, shall forfeit
the office and, whether elected or not, shall be ineligible to hold any office up
to and including the next regular election if the candidate fails to file a
statement within 30 days of the date of the notice.
Attached hereto is a copy of the Supplementary Statement filed under Section 132(9)
of the Municipal Elections Act. As shown on the statement, John Fowler and Darryl
Somerscales filed their statement of election finances within the 30 day period of
the notice of demand. Paul Gearing failed to file his statement within the
specified time frame and is, therefore, ineligible to hold any office in the Town of
Newcastle up to and including the 1991 Municipal Elections.
