Shortly thereafter, Granstrom called the meeting to recess while asking the City Clerk to call the RCMP to remove Charlton from Chambers. During the 45 minute recess before the RCMP showed up, Charlton pulled out a book to pass the time while members of the media gallery, as well as other councillors, exchanged unimpressed looks related to the delay.
Councilor Charlton has not answered calls or e-mails from the Telegraph since the incident to get his reaction and side of the story. In that lack of clarification, the actual memo dated February 9th is a mystery to City CAO Victor Kumar. In searching back through his documents the only potential memo he notes sending to council on the 9th was one regarding the City Parcel Tax Roll committee.
