705
Today, Maple Ridge City Council and Councillor Robson have jointly agreed that
it is in the best interest of the community to conclude this matter immediately,
allowing Council to conduct the balance of its outstanding business before the
October 15 municipal election without the distraction and cost to taxpayers of
continued action. As a result, Council will not pursue a further investigation of
Councillor Robson, and Councillor Robson will discontinue his legal proceedings
against the City. Both Council and Councillor Robson agree that it is time to
conclude the issue and allow Council to focus on the remainder of its agenda
before wrapping up this term.
