Vancouver’s integrity commissioner has ruled that Mayor Ken Sim and seven of his ABC Vancouver councillors broke city rules by meeting in private to discuss and plan city business. Lisa Southern’s report, dated Aug. 22, was based on a complaint lodged last summer by Green Coun. Pete Fry.

For the first time since Vancouver council created a code of conduct, the mayor has used it to file a complaint against a fellow councillor — but it didn't go the way Ken Sim likely hoped. 

Integrity Commissioner Lisa Southern ruled that councillor Christine Boyle did not contravene the city's code when she revealed she voted against the city's decision to stop being a Living Wage Employer. 

The decision was made in a private council meeting — known as in camera — in January, and then made public by the city in March.

Boyle argued the city's official communication plan for the announcement, along with the advice she received from staff, allowed her to state how she voted. Sim filed his complaint a week after Boyle's statement, argued it was a breach of the code, and declined an offer by Southern to resolve the dispute through an informal resolution.

In her decision, Southern said she did not find the city treated Boyle's vote as confidential.
