The mayor of Carleton Place, Louis Antonakos, is facing a suspension of 90 days’ pay, the maximum penalty allowable, after a provincial integrity commissioner ruled he violated council’s code of conduct by disclosing confidential information gleaned from in-camera council sessions.

The full report from integrity commissioner Robert Swayze was made public Friday, and will be presented at council’s next session Tuesday.

Swayze called the breach “the most egregious disclosure of confidential information I have ever encountered in nine years serving as an integrity commissioner. In my opinion, it should be dealt with severely.”

Town council expects a full house Tuesday, moving the scheduled meeting from council chambers to a Town Hall auditorium, where Swayze will take the unusual step of delivering his verdict in-person.

But there’s one notable resident who indicated he won’t be attending the council session: Mayor Antonakos himself.
