Both O’Leary, who submitted the complaint to Principle’s Integrity, and Tamming, the subject of the complaint, did not vote.
O’Leary also didn’t participate in the discussion on the report, which concluded Tamming’s behaviour contravened the media communications and respectful workplace sections of council’s code of conduct. Both sections speak about treating fellow council members without abuse, bullying or intimidation.
