The City of Chestermere will abandon its application for a judicial review of the province's firings of four members of council and three chief administrative officers. The city's interim CAO told city council Tuesday the legal costs associated with the application have reached almost $300,000 and that the decision to have taxpayers foot the bill was an unauthorized expense approved by the three former CAOs.
According to Pat Vincent, the interim chief administrative officer, the southern Alberta city has paid $256,000 of the bill, while $39,000 remains outstanding
