The code was presented at the last operations committee meet- ing by town clerk Don McKay, and ,was declared too vague and needing more discussion. Councillor Gerry Emm. said, "The proposai as presented bas too many implications, is too complex and faces; a risk of being delayed for further study after the election. "Without council's endorsement tonight, implementation before this November election would be difficult.'" Emm said Wbitby ratepayers have the right to know what their elected menibers are involved in to keep council above reproach. Hie. struck dow n mayor Attersley's idea for ýdisclosure of financial and property activities 60 days after the election. 'What opportunity would the taxpayer have to remove someone who had a recorded disclosure -'bat was less than desirable? The people'would be stuck with bim or ber for three years," Emm said. 1Enin' moved t hat aIl members of council who served six years or niorebe required to file with the town clerk on or before November 1 a statement of full disclosure on property holding, business interests and partnerships, cor- porate directorships, invèstment portfolios, and monies owed to indfividuals or institutions in excess of ten thousand dollars.
