An attempt at mediation failed to resolve differences between Coun. Rick Chiarelli and the city, as the councillor continues to press a court case that has revealed his “cognitive decline” and aired more political dirty laundry.
A hearing was initially set in January for a judicial review of a penalty imposed by council after a report by integrity commissioner Robert Marleau regarding allegations that Chiarelli made inappropriate and lewd remarks to women who worked for him and who applied for jobs in his office. The court asked the two sides to first attempt resolving the issues behind closed doors with the help of a judge. That effort recently concluded without a settlement, and a hearing will be rescheduled.
