It was good of Councillor Carol Gran to return to her duties of attending city council meetings on June 11th after an absence of a full month. A few weeks ago Coun. Gran had to be reminded by the mayor of her statutory obligation to attend city council meetings.
Upon returning to council Gran offered no explanation for her lengthy absence, so I presume that she was taking one of her frequent holidays. After another such holiday recently, Gran asked council to reconsider the item of recommending to the Agricultural Land Commission that the land use within the ALR be changed to allow for a par-3 golf course on Benvoulin Road. It was good of her to not ask for any special consideration at her most recent return to council.
Having reviewed the attendance record of Coun. Gran since January 1, 2006, I am wondering why she ran for council at all as she has missed one of four council meetings in the 17 months since. Gran along with the frequently absent Andre Blanleil together account for 80% of all council member's absences in that period. I hope that both Gran and Blanleil start to take their elected duties more seriously or not run for re-election.
