In April 2021, I repeated my request and former clerk Paula Parker advised a draft policy was in progress.
January 2022, I asked interim CAO Tony Haddad about the status of the Routine Disclosure and Active Dissemination Policy that former CAO Miceli advised the town was in the process of creating in February 2020. I received no answer.
July 2022 I reminded Critchley and council that council has disregarded my repeated requests for a Routine Disclosure policy,
In April 2022, I reminded council that it was over two years.
In January 2023, I requested that status of the routine disclosure policy and in February CAO Critchley advised the town continues to investigate a number of policies but has not adopted a specific policy.
In June, 2023, council carried Councillor Pouget’s motion to direct administration to bring back a report regarding the policy following Nancy Atkinson’s delegation on behalf of the Amherstburg Residents Forum.
December 2023, I emailed council requesting the status of, and report on, the routine disclosure policy and Critchley advised they continue to work on the Routine Disclosure issue and expect it will move forward in the new year.
