Chase-Green recuses self from metered parking negotiating team

Mayor Patricia Chase-Green yesterday recused herself from serving as a member of the new City Council negotiating team that will work to iron out issues with Smart City Solutions (SCS) on the metered parking project.

“Please, as we are going forward, I would not like to be nominated to be a part of this team,” she told councillors around the horse-shoe table at the conclusion of the statutory meeting.

There will be an extraordinary meeting of the council on Wednesday to engage in further discussions on the way forward for the project.

According to the Mayor, during Wednesday’s meeting they would be nominating names of councillors to sit on the renegotiating team and the terms of reference would also be established. Once this is done, the team would move to engage in new public consultation.
