Saskatoon city council is going to be deciding whether to create an integrity commissioner position to investigate conduct complaints against council members.

The City of Saskatoon’s solicitor’s office is drafting a code of conduct for city council. The integrity commissioner would review and investigate complaints from the public, city staff or council members about breaches of conduct.

City council’s governance and priorities committee, which includes all members of council, will consider whether to approve the idea of an integrity commissioner at Monday’s meeting.

If approved, an integrity commissioner would be hired after the code of conduct rules are drafted and passed, which is expected to take place this year, according to a city report.

The City of Regina recently hired an integrity commissioner, the report says. Regina’s commissioner is being paid $2,000 this year, $5,000 in 2019 and a base salary of $2,500 in 2020, plus an hourly rate of $375.
