Sarnia’s CAO received a resounding endorsement from city council at his first public meeting last week.
Councillors voted unanimously to approve a bylaw officially recognizing Chris Carter as the city’s chief administrative officer.
The unusual request for a recorded bylaw vote came from Coun. Mike Stark and made clear council’s support for Carter, who began the job April 1.
Carter fills a position left vacant by the departure of Margaret Misek-Evans in December. He comes from Niagara Region, where he was most recently general manager of corporate services.
Misek-Evans has since become CAO in the Town of Tecumseh.
