Rivette to be ambushed in a closed coun- cil session for speaking with the meeting. Rivette recently accused council of breach- ing the closed meeting rules again, despite an earlier pledge by Mayor Kilger to follow guidelines laid about by Fournier. Kilger said Cornwall is not alone in facing the challenge of replacing experienced se- nior staff. “The need to plan for succession in light of retirements and an overall aging work- force is something that every corporation in Canada is facing,” he said. The CAO is a critical liaison between council and the city staff who provide the day-to-day services to the community, he stressed. “It is important that we begin working now to ensure that we have a replacement for the CAO.” City planner Stephen Alexander has been appointed acting CAO during this transition period.He is currently the general manager of planning, parks and recreation. Alexander will perform the day-to-day responsibilities of the CAO position during this transitional period. Fitzpatrick will be taking unused vacation time and his management leave is part of a staged retirement process, according to the city. Fitzpatrick will continue to be avail- able to the city and will provide assistance on transitional and other issues that may arise, according to the city. One of the key objectives of the transitional process is the recruitment of a new CAO, according to the city. A ban on open air burning remains in ef- fect in the neighbouring municipalities of South Glengarry and South Stormont. Outdoor fires are permitted only between sunset and sunrise, must be kept small, must be supervised at all times by an adult, and must be extinguished when there is no supervision or when the fire is finished. Only clean, cured wood is to be used for burning.

Cornwall’s embattled chief administrative officer will spent his remaining months with the city on vacation. Paul Fitzpatrick, who earned $183,000 as the city’s top employee last year, will be on “management leave” until his retirement on Jan. 31, 2013, according to a press release issued by the city. Mayor Bob Kilger announced in June that Fitzpatrick would retire after 28 years with the city of Cornwall, six of those as CAO. Council will be asked Aug. 13 to approve re- cruiting for Fitzpatrick’s replacement. Fitzpatrick is the highest ranking city of- ficial in an exodus that began with former Glen Stor Dun Lodge administrator Donna Derouchie last July. Since then, the city has fired human resources manager Robert Me- nagh and city clerk Denise Labelle-Gelinas has announced her impending retirement. Over the same time period, a council- lor – Leslie O’Shaughnessy – resigned over frustration with a lack of information from administration on key council decisions and the city lost a human rights decision in- volving a former employee and was found guilty of retaliating against another city em- ployee who had reported a case of abuse at Glen Stor Dun Lodge.. The city was also criticized earlier this year by closed-meeting investigator Stephen Fournier for allowing Councillor Andre The Cornwall Fire Department has lifted the ban on outdoor fires in the city. The outdoor fire ban was originally issued on July 16 due to extremely dry conditions. Residents still must obtain an open air burning permit from the fire department before having any outdoor fires on their property, according to city spokesman Kev- in Lajoie.
