Today, Mayor Maloney issued his first four decisions under the Strong Mayor Powers granted by the Province of Ontario.
These initial decisions focus on delegating specific authorities to Council and the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), demonstrating Mayor Maloney’s commitment to collaboration, transparency, and good governance. The delegated powers include:
- Delegating to Council the authority to appoint or dismiss the CAO;
- Delegating to the CAO the responsibility to oversee the Town’s organizational structure;
- Delegating to the CAO the authority over employment matters; and
- Delegating to Council the authority to establish or dissolve committees, appoint committee chairs and vice-chairs, and assign functions to committees.
These delegations reflect the Mayor’s ongoing commitment to working closely with trusted colleagues and ensuring the Town remains efficient, responsive, and accountable to the community.
“This is the first time decisions are being made in Bracebridge under the new Strong Mayor framework. I believe in the strength of our team and the importance of shared leadership. By entrusting key responsibilities to Council and our CAO, I’m confident we will continue to make thoughtful, informed decisions that serve our community well,” said Rick Maloney, Mayor, Town of Bracebridge.
