Tensions could be high at Regina’s first city council meeting of the year Wednesday.
In a letter to the city clerk included in the minutes for this week’s meeting, Mayor Sandra Masters said she’ll be submitting a notice of motion to council that will ask councillors to consider removing Coun. Dan LeBlanc from the inaugural community safety board.
LeBlanc was appointed to the board on Sept. 14.
The current relationship between LeBlanc and Masters could be described as a little strained.
In November, LeBlanc filed a lawsuit on behalf of Coun. Andrew Stevens and a concerned citizen against city manager Niki Anderson because she didn’t specifically set aside funding in the proposed budget for ending homelessness.
The lawsuit was eventually thrown out in court, but it caused anger among council after Masters and other members of council threw their support behind Anderson.
Masters derided the move by LeBlanc and Stevens as a political publicity stunt and an awful way to treat an employee. She also said she thought the move was “sexist.”
Coun. Terina Nelson also called the move by LeBlanc and Stevens “embarrassing.”
The meeting is to begin at 1 p.m.
