Breach of Trust and Sharing of Confidential/Classified Information
Over the last few weeks, it was brought to Council’s attention that Councillor Chesney had gone against Council’s direction and divulged confidential information regarding the City’s negotiations
of a very sensitive and critical matter.
Any person who is elected or appointed to office, on a municipal council, must make an oath or solemn affirmation of office, under section 120 of the Community Charter and are bound by duty
to section 117 of the Community Charter to respect confidentiality. Regrettably, City of White Rock Council has lost faith and trust in Councillor David Chesney’s ability to respect and uphold the
integrity of the members’ office and oath.
