Councillor Muench may be bringing this motion forward however it's really belongs to Councillor Perrelli and his unsubstantiated "survey"
Member Motion - Councillor Muench - Mayor Dave Barrow Return
This motion is to immediately rescind Mayor Barrow's Medical Leave of Absence
Reasoning is because "Mayor Dave Barrow was recently photographed by Metroland photographer Steve Somerville having breakfast at the 3 Coins Open Kitchen restaurant patio on June 11" and that "Mayor Dave Barrow looked in fine health and was very talkative"
Mayor Dave Barrow had sent an email on June 9th to Council, at their request, stating that “The medical treatments I've been receiving have been going well and at this time I'm hopeful that I will be able to return to work at the end of the summer”
